Firefox 4 Tor Browser Bundles for OS X

UPDATE: there were some issues with the first set of bundles which have been fixed. I've updated the links below. The changelog is here.

We have new Firefox 4 Tor Browser Bundles available for OS X. (Worry not, users of other operating systems, your turn is coming in the next few days!) They come in 64- and 32-bit versions, and one important fix for 10.6 64-bit users is that Firefox no longer crashes on initial startup. These are alpha, but they are going to be a permanent addition to the Tor Browser Bundle family and will be maintained from now on. You can download them here:

These have thus far only been tested on Snow Leopard, but the 32-bit bundle ought to work on Leopard. If it doesn't please let me know! And as usual, please file any bugs you discover.

Tor Browser Bundle (2.2.23-1) alpha; suite=osx

Create new bundles for Firefox 4, both i386 and x86_64 (closes: #2140)
Update Tor to 0.2.2.23-alpha
Update Torbutton to 1.3.2-alpha
Update OpenSSL to 1.0.0d
Update HTTPS-Everywhere to 0.9.9.development.4
Update NoScript to 2.0.9.9
Update BetterPrivacy to 1.49

I'll make a proper announcement soon.

Hi Erinn, I do not see

Hi Erinn,
I do not see Polipo listed above, does that mean the new Firefox'es (OS X and Windows) have the socks patch included from chrisd.mang (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280661)?
Also, what do you think about adding the following add-ons and about:config edits to future bundles?
(add-ons)
1. Google Analytics Opt-Out
I tried the following code from Adblock Plus but it requires Grease Monkey to work well, and it seems out of date:
http://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5222#p20744
https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=27886#p27886
2. Universal Behavioral Advertising Opt-Out
Or simply set a do-not-track [DNT] header to TorButton?
3. AdBlock Plus
Using EasyPrivacy + EasyList subscriptions. Btw, that list combo already has a DNT header but I am unsure it's correct: *$image,~image,donottrack
(about:config)
4. config.trim_on_minimize
To reduce Firefox RAM usage when it's minimized; many computers do not have luxury RAM. I have not noticed any loss in responsiveness when using this setting:

The bundles don't have Chris's exact patch, but they have the improved one by Michael Novatny, yes.

As for the rest, would you mind filing a ticket on https://trac.torproject.org under Tor Bundles/Installation? Thanks!

Let me suggest the Ghostery

Let me suggest the Ghostery add-on, it takes care of all those ad/web trackers.

While ghostery sounds

While ghostery sounds decent, it seems no one has analyzed the codebase to see what it actually does or reports back to the ghostery servers.

Why does the OS X version

Why does the OS X version get NoScript and BetterPrivacy and the Windows version does not by default?

I put them in the Windows

I put them in the Windows version -- which is very stable, and has many users -- and the users were very unhappy, so I decided to remove them, pending further testing. I'm going to put out Firefox4 TBBs for Windows soon and I'll add them to that.

Tor stops working after sometime, have to restart Tor.

Attempted to install Vidalia

Attempted to install Vidalia Bundle on Mac OS X 10.4.11 on PowerPC (iBook G3). Mac OS X Tiger is the last version of Mac to run on a G3 processor. Neither the stable nor unstable bundle work: the Vidalia icon pops into the watchamacallit-bar-thing at the bottom of the screen for a moment before immediately vanishing.

To the previous Anonymous: You might try installing JonDoFox, removing the JonDoFox plugin and replacing it with the TorButton plugin, and adding BetterPrivacy if desired. JonDoFox comes with a nice set of security enhancements, although for Flash they recommend either blocking it with NoScript (preferred, and the default setup), or refusing cookies from the Flash settings and using a socksifer to prevent Flash from revealing your IP. (You could also do that for the Java.) JonDoFox actually does have good Tor support, and will even switch many of your headers to match Torbutton's when you switch to Tor, but unless you are actually planning on using their proxy, JonDo, it would probably be best to replace the JonDoFox plugin with the Torbutton plugin for optimal blending-in with other Tor users, plus Torbutton has some security enhancements JonDoFox may lack.
