HTTP_ACCEPT javascript #107

When I activate javascript in Firefox on https://panopticlick.eff.org/ it shows my original accept header. I don't think this should be like that. The version is 0.9.3.4. on Firefox 34. Thank You for your work, the add-on is awesome.

Hello @bumperl

I'm assuming you had the addon enabled (blue icon) .

Did you click all the accept header checkboxes on the headers tab ? They need to be ticked

Were you spoofing a different version of firefox / iceweasel/ palemoon ? They share the same headers

Were you spoofing based on request. In this case the addon will use a new profile for each request and a site that makes multiple requests will get a different profile per request. If that was the case the final profile may not have been firefox but the one that made the initial request could have been. But you only see the most recent profile. This would give the impression that the headers are mismatched.

The only way it would send the default headers is how I have described above.

Are you using other addons with it that could interfere with it ?

Thank you for the support!

Hello dillbyrne,

Thank you for your patience :). I think I spoofed a different version of firefox / iceweasel/ palemoon in connection with unticked extra privacy options. I'm sorry for my late answer, for wasting your time with a non existing problem. The add on works like a charm. Sorry again.
