This was a display issue with Torbutton. In both Torbutton 1.2.2 and Torbutton 1.2.3, it configures firefox to connect on localhost:8118. Torbutton 1.2.2 had text that said "use privoxy", torbutton 1.2.3 has text that says "use polipo". In both cases, the result was the same. Firefox was configured to use whichever http proxy was shipped on port 8118. The tor browser bundles (aka the easy bundle) have always included polipo. There was a bug with bundles that included vidalia 0.2.3 through 0.2.4 where polipo wouldn't start with the correct configuration file. This is fixed in vidalia 0.2.6 on osx and linux. It's fixed in vidalia 0.2.5 on windows. Rather than talking about some esoteric versions, use the latest available bundle is generally the easiest advice. As for the original poster, you never said what you downloaded and installed, and if there are any errors in the Message Log. With all your anti-bad stuff software installed, most likely localhost is firewalled off from everything. This breaks tor. -- Andrew Lewman The Tor Project pgp 0x31B0974B Website: https://torproject.org/ Blog: https://blog.torproject.org/ Identi.ca: torproject *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
