The "RESOURCELIMIT" part
The "RESOURCELIMIT" part sounds important -- like you're firewalled or something, perhaps by Windows itself.
Having finally changed to
Having finally changed to the new 3.5.2.1 I am encountering a number of issues with the new release that make it almost impossible for me to use:
1. Stability problems
I am getting the impression that every new release is becoming more unstable than the previous. On some java script websites crashes in a matter mouse klicks now.
2. Lost Vidalia features
Most annoying among them is the whole browser being closed every time you need "new identity" thingie. Since browser history isn't used for obvious reasons, all research will be lost, logins as well. Many sites ban Tor exit nodes so new idenitity without closed tabs is a must for continuous surfing.
Using the workaround with stand-alone vidalia now.
3. Process naming in windows
The old tor browser bundle used to be called tbb.exe + vidalia.exe in windows task manager. Now only firefox.exe is being used, making it impossible to dinstinguish from regular firefox versions. Very unfortunate choice!
1) Sounds like a Firefox
1) Sounds like a Firefox issue. I haven't heard from many people with this issue. Perhaps you can describe steps to repeat?
2) I'm glad the standalone Vidalia is working for you.
3) I think this is also a choice made by the more recent Firefox. But that's a good point -- I'll mention it to the TBB developers and see what they think.
Also, I deleted your duplicate comment on the earlier blog post -- please don't spam the same thing onto multiple blog posts.
No.1 happens especially when
No.1 happens especially when opening multiple js-based tabs in a short time on the same website. Makes Tor browser freeze until the process is killed from the task manager. No issues in that regard with earlier versions of Tor. Got the newest js-update, but still no improvement.
Unfortunately using standalone Vidalia didn't solve my problems with the new Tor browser, probably a Firefox issue as well:
'Clearing all current history' with everything crossed from the Tools/Options menu doesn't seem to work to its full extent. When I do that and get 'new identity' from Vidalia to work around login problems, websites still recognize the login-name, although browser cache including cookies has been deleted and the ip address is new (I verified that with whatismyip). So anonymity is corrupted - very alarming!
I have never experienced such a thing before with older versions of Tor.
Also I am being refused access to AOL-webmail since switching to Tor 3.5.2.1. I already found entries online with people encountering the very same problem with the newest Tor. When switching back to an older version of Tor, everything worked fine again. So it's definitely a problem with version 3.5.2.1. :-(
I also tried AOL basic mail, which I think doesn't use js, however, I still do get the following error message: 'BLERK! ERROR 1 C0FE170E'.
Thank you for deleting my redundant blog post. I didn't receive any automated feedback on whether I had successfully posted or not, instead my entry just disappeared completely after hitting 'post comment'. So it looked as if I had to write it again.
At about:config, why does
At about:config, why does the variable extensions.torbutton.useragent_override says it's Firefox 17 instead of 24?
The variable general_useragent.override shows it correctly.
