+<p>
 Currently, this is tied to the "<b>Block history writes during Tor</b>"
 setting. If you have enabled that setting, all formfill functionality (both
 saving and reading) is disabled. If this bothers you, you can uncheck that
 option, but both history and forms will be saved. To prevent history
 disclosure attacks via Non-Tor usage, it is recommended you disable Non-Tor
 history reads if you allow history writing during Tor.

 complete list of ones that are bad for anonymity is near impossible. However,
