The Firefox web browser could soon get an add-on for Tor functionality, which will greatly improve the security of the end user using network Gate.
The ultimate goal is to implement a fully functional TOR program in your browser, and this project takes time. However, its members teamMozilla and the Tor network seem to be already discussing the challenges.
Their proposal is to develop an add-on for the program tourwhich would enable Tor functionality in Firefox. This approach could give both companies the necessary time to develop what is needed for this new feature.
The extension will not be installed by default in Firefox, and users will have to download it manually from the Mozilla website to enable Tor's operation.
"It would allow users to see how it could be a final version of integration with Tor. It could also help to measure your interest by counting downloads, etc. ” he says the Tor development team.
"The add-on will require increased permissions compared to a standard WebExtension, to be able to call XPCOM functions, for example. The addon will be signed by Mozilla and will be distributed by Mozilla anyway, so that there are no problems ".
Mozilla developers and from Tor Project are already discussing various technical details.
The addon will configure the browser to use the tor network as a proxy, and allow settings that prevent bypass parameters, resist fingerprinting, just like its settings Tor Browser.
Right now, the devs believe that the best way to proceed with the project and the add-on is to add a Tor mode button that will launch a special profile in a new window.
We do not know at this time when the first public release will be released.
