I seem to recall there being an attack where someone can manipulate XUL into disclosing if a favicon existed in cache and the age of image in cache to determine your history. In general, for a tor browser bundle that is not supposed to leave a trace, having a favicon cache could be bad. It would confirm that you did indeed visit a certain site. If this certain site is forbidden in your locale, the evidence could be used against you. -- Andrew pgp key: 0x74ED336B _______________________________________________ tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://boum.org/mailman/listinfo/tails-dev
