   That's the thing. I remember the Tor project was frowning upon the use of   
   default Firefox installations because they were "insecure" even if you take   
   precautions such as using private browsing and noscript. They even recommended   
   not using noscript because a sniffer could identify you based upon the scripts   
   that load or not. Now they include noscript with the bundle but don't even   
   disable javascript by default, citing that:    
      
   "We configure NoScript to allow JavaScript by default in the Tor Browser Bundle   
   because many websites will not work with JavaScript disabled. Most users would   
   give up on Tor entirely if a website they want to use requires JavaScript,   
   because they would not know how to allow a website to use JavaScript (or that   
   enabling JavaScript might make a website work)."   
      
   Says a lot of scary things about its userbase...
