Greetings,
I'm a newbie in Onionland—I installed TBB on my Linux machine 2 days
ago—and I have a question:
My computer is old and I can't afford to run Firefox non-stop, so I close
it when I don't use it and leave Vidalia running (I have a relay set up).

It is really weird, that Vidalia closes by default, when you close Firefox.
There is no option to change that. It does not make sense, if people are
expected, to enable contributing to the Tor network using Vidalia. No one can
be expected to leave Firefox running 24/7. Do we have a ticket about

The only safe way to start TBB is to run 'start-tor-browser'. Any
other
method will cause TBB to be in some odd state.
Can you expand this please? Odd state in sense of no functionality or negative
implications on anonymity?

Hmm... I'm a bit sad to hear that because it's very inconvenient for some
of us to run Firefox 24/7 just because we'd like to help the network with
relaying. Perhaps in the future you will make it a bit more user-friendly
in this regard.

Will conflict with Tor Browser Bundle. (SocksPort on same port.)

Ok, understandable.
then again, SocksPort is just one line.. I mean one could write a simple
script and publish it for such users (which I might do in order to stop
this drooling of mine);
one finds the line, and changes the port number. Problem #1 solved?
For relaying, it is a matter of

For some reason on linux, when closing firefox, it doesn't kill

Just a correction: On OS X 10.6.8 Vidalia remains open when I quite

I think this should work:
1) Remove the lines:
BrowserDirectory=.
BrowserExecutable=firefox
from Data/Vidalia/vidalia.conf
2) Add the line
SocksPort 9050
to Data/Tor/torrc
3)./App/Firefox/firefox -P no-remote

I don't think that's a clean and easy solution. Your tool laying around on some
third party server and barely anyone being aware and using it.
Possible solutions:
- As a intermediate fix: Simply change the Windows behavior, not to close
Vidalia/Tor when Firefox is terminated. (Like already on

We make an assumption that if you are running some sort of
unix, you
can handle your package management system, or compile from source,
and
edit the torrc file.
No good assumption. Using unix doesn't make you a geek. Ubuntu is one of the
most widespread AND newbie friendly distribution.
