It seems you responded to another thread with a new subject, perhaps
this has confused others.

How does this differ from the tamper data extension in Firefox?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tamper-data/

In either case, did you find anything in the interaction between firefox
and the Tor socks proxy? From you blog post, it looks like Tor socks
interaction is quick, and the performance of everything else is
dependent on the active circuit.

And, it's Tor, not TOR.  See
https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#WhyCalledTor for the
details.
