A Reddit user wrote
[https://pay.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/1u174m/psa_tor_leaks_links_to_terminal/
this post] saying TBB is leaking information about the sites a user is
trying to visit (i.e. unresolved domains) to the terminal.
Below are steps to reproduce, according to the post. I have not tested
this myself.
1. Visit an invalid domain, such as asdfghjklkjhgfdsasfgjhk.com or a
.onion URL.
2. Click "Try Again".
3. Change the tab and change back.
The following messages appears in the terminal:
{{{
(about:neterror?e=connectionFailure&u=http%3A//www.asdfghjklkjhgfdsasfgjhk.com/&c=UTF-8&d=Firefox%20can%27t%20establish%20a%20connection%20to%20the%20server%20at%20www.asdfghjklkjhgfdsasfgjhk.com.)
Could not check applicable rules for
