Possible to make Tor-TFF?

[barracuda156]

AFAIK, Tor-browser was/is based on Mozilla. tor itself builds for PPC with no problem. It is feasible to add its support into TFF or build a TFF-based Tor-browser for PPC?

@classilla Maybe it is possible to add i2p support: https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pdbrowser/tree/master/macos (i2pd finally builds fine for PPC.)

The problem with Tor, specifically, is that while it is trivial to set it as a manual proxy for TFF (that works, check.torproject.org confirms it), opening .onion websites does not work. I tried with DuckDuckGo, which must be up, but it fails to load. (Yes, I have changed network.dns.blockDotOnion to unblock .onion and allow socks_remote_dns, but to no effect.)

The old 10.4 Tor Browser was basically using the TenFourFox patches, so it should be possible, but it's not something I'd do myself.

@classilla Thank you! I did not imply that someone has to do that for me, of course. But advice will be really helpful.

If you a minute just to take a look, could this possibly work? https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pdbrowser/issues/47#issuecomment-1312514440 Sources here: https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pdbrowser/tree/master/macos/build

Basically, what is needed is one extension noscript-11.4.11.xpi and support for preferences and profiles (link above). I have fixed i2pd on PPC (daemon used with the browser to forward connections via i2p), and their build script for FireFox is easily adaptable to TFF (or otherwise, of course, it can be done manually), but I am not sure re autoconf.js and policies support (see comment from the developer in the thread).

Not sure what queueMicrotask is. Implementing it may be needed as a prerequisite.

@classilla where did you find it? firefox internals?
