hello from angel to researchers, today i was checking my total anonymity using TOR in Firefox.
Got surprised at some of the info of my browser is leaking. Admittedly some of it is a bit alarmist, and some are of genuine concern – particularly if you’re trying to card the same site a few times.
I tend to use one browser (regular firefox) for only chaining proxies, and have found the following adjustments helpful.
You can also feel free to use http://check2ip.com or http://ip-check.info to check.
geo.enabled = false
geo.wifi.uri = [leave blank]
network.http.accept.default = text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
network.http.use-cache = false
network.http.keep-alive.timeout = 600
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy = 16
network.proxy.socks_remote_dns = true
network.cookie.lifetimePolicy = 2
network.http.sendRefererHeader = 0
network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer = false
network.protocol-handler.external = false [set the default and all the subsettings to false]
network.protocol-handler.warn-external = true [set the default and all the subsettings to true]
network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 8
network.http.proxy.keep-alive = true
network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
network.prefetch-next = false
browser.cache.disk.enable = false
browser.cache.offline.enable = false
browser.sessionstore.privacy_level = 2
browser.sessionhistory.max_entries = 2
browser.display.use_document_fonts = 0
intl.charsetmenu.browser.cache = ISO-8859-9, windows-1252, windows-1251, ISO-8859-1, UTF-8
dom.storage.enabled = false
extensions.blocklist.enabled = false
And Other Settings
Disable all plugins [tools -> addons -> plugins]
Disable all live bookmarks [bookmarks -> bookmarks toolbar -> R/click latest headlines -> delete]
Disable all updates [tools -> options -> advanced -> update]
Enable ‘do not track’ feature [tools -> options -> privacy]
Enable private browsing, configure to remember nothing & disable 3rd party cookies. [tools -> options -> privacy]
How to Do this ?
open new TAB in Firefox
in URL type about:config
You can also use add-ons like

Close n forget
Ghostery
Https-Everywhere
