Title: Opening site links sometimes causes www. to be appended to onion address.
Post by: xx138xx on September 12, 2012, 11:11 pm
I normally open listings I am browsing in a new browser tab, to enable me to keep the category page up as well. Recently I have come across a slight issue with the site in doing this. Every so often, the new tab will magically have a www. appended to the onion address in the address bar. Tor catches this and refuses to load the page, but it seems it may be a problem that could be exploited at some point. Mostly it is just an annoyance as it does not occur for all links/pages.

All tor states about the issue is:
