Open TorBrowser and go to some site. Select come text inside TorBroser window on this site (you can even copy Congratulations! from start page) and press Ctrl+C. Close TorBrowser. What do you see by pressing Ctrl+V?

Ilya_SpongeBob, which operating system are you using? OS X? Windows? Linux?

I see the behaviour you describe with Tor Browser 4.5.1 on OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. The clipboard is cleared after Tor Browser exits.

I'd suggest you paste whatever you want to paste before Tor Browser exits. Because clearing the OS X pasteboard(s) is a privacy feature. Otherwise, things that people have searched for on a page, or copied from a page, can turn up in other apps later on.

(OS X has Find and Drag Pasteboards, as well as the normal Copy & Paste Clipboard. All of them can leak private data if we're not careful.)

The text I selected and copied. So, yes, this is working for me on my Linux box.

I know. I'm asking to add an option to switch this off. Default can be on.

Ilya_SpongeBob, I don't think that's going to happen.

Instead, please paste whatever you want to paste before you close the app. This resolves your issue without adding another feature to Tor Browser.

gk has already closed this ticket twice, which is a polite way of refusing your request. I've provided you an explanation as to why the feature is the way it is, and a workaround.

Please stop reopening this ticket, as that is considered rude by some people.

Instead, if the feature is of vital importance to you, please consider making the changes yourself from the Tor Browser source code, or finding someone with the requisite skills to do it for you.

This is solely my opinion: given the obscure nature of the feature, and the ready availability of a workaround, you may find that offering a paid bounty is necessary to get the work done. You may also find it never gets merged into the Tor Browser master branch.

Alternately, you can install Linux and use the Linux version of Tor Browser, which, according to gk, has the copy and paste behaviour you want.

You have closed tichet because you have lied all is workding for you. This is really rude.

I've provided you an explanation as to why the feature is the way it is, and a workaround.

All you said is "pay me to implement the feature". You did not expain why you need money as project is free. You also did not explain why you cannot implement just a feature, which will be disabled by default (so lamers don't have to worry about).

CMP BYTE PTR SS:[ESP+2F],0

is something like option compare. You can modify next JE to JMP.

You have closed tichet because you have lied all is workding for you. This is really rude.

No, we've told you how it works on the platforms that we have access to (Linux, OS X), and the reasons that we are satisfied with that behaviour. I don't have access to Windows. So I can only assume that Windows works like OS X.

I've provided you an explanation as to why the feature is the way it is, and a workaround.

All you said is "pay me to implement the feature". You did not expain why you need money as project is free. You also did not explain why you cannot implement just a feature, which will be disabled by default (so lamers don't have to worry about).

I apologise for mentioning money. I regret that it led to a miscommunication. I did not intend to cause offense. It was only my opinion, and I said as much. I do not want money. I do not have the skills you require. I do not even have access to a Windows machine. And I am not familiar with the Tor Browser source code.

Please understand:

In a project supplied without cost, you can request a feature, and then the feature gets implemented if it fits the project's goals.

In a project supplied with source code, you can implement the feature yourself, or find someone to do it for you.

So here are your options:

Use Tor Browser on Windows as it is, and give up on having this feature
Use Tor Browser on Windows as it is, and paste before you exit the app
Use Tor Browser on Linux, which works the way you want it to work
Modify Tor Browser to work the way you want it to
Find a developer to modify Tor Browser for you

It is very unlikely that further posts on this ticket will convince a developer to make the changes you want. Whichever option you choose, this ticket is not the place to make it happen. So please stop posting.

Folks, calm down.

There is already the option to get that behavior you want on non-Linux platforms: just leave the private browsing mode (PBM). I guess that this is working even within the PBM on Linux is due to someone not caring about Linux when the original feature (clear clipboard when last PBM window got closed) got implemented.
This behavior will change when we base Tor Browser on ESR 38 which is happening in two weeks for the alpha and in eight weeks for the stable series as this feature got reverted in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=815952. Thus, this will be a non-issue in Tor Browser 5.0

Sorry, gk, Ilya_SpongeBob, I got caught up in the issue. I didn't know enough about what I was talking about to be truly helpful.

There is already the option to get that behavior you want on non-Linux platforms: just leave the private browsing mode (PBM)

How to access this option? I cannot find "private browsing mode". It's much more easier to patch your application than write a tickets: https://ia601505.us.archive.org/14/items/TorbrowserBugtracker/xul.zip password : 12345678

And never add anti-debugging APIs. It makes me angry.
