Why the fuck were my settings all fucked up on tor?...my JavaScript was enabled and a bunch of other shit...
I just now fixed all the shit and what not, but wtf..............................

Did you download a new version of TorBrowser, perhaps? Settings are usually (always?) restored to default when I do that.

Most likely the TBB update, to 17.0.8!

I just got a notice when I logged on to TOR just now that there is a new security update to 2.3.25-11, which I just got done updating to. I had also heard/read that the security settings in no script were reset to the default settings when updating the browser, however every time I've updated, I've noticed that it is always set to "allow scripts globally (not recommended)" in at least 2 places. I've always changed those right away. I don't think that the default settings are the same as what should be the default for safely using TOR hidden services.
You probably need to fix that one at least every time you update. Also, after having read the thread on security that is highlighted at the top of the SR Site, I noticed that several people had suggested as well to go under the 'Embeddings' tab and check all the 8(?) boxes at the top that are by default unchecked. I did that upon reading the suggestions and it has not affected my use of this site or forum whatsoever. So, I figure might as well check those all off as well just to be sure.....
