The reason is that browsers have a habit of supporting all sorts of weird protocols besides http and https, and if some webpage gives you (over Tor) a link that points to one of those other protocols, then your browser will fetch it without going through any proxies. If you specify a socks proxy, your browser should [*] use the socks proxy for all other protocols. (I say "should" because I have no idea what bugs konqueror has where it decides it's smarter than you and shouldn't use a proxy for some situation.) --Roger
