-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Running Tor on Trisquel Linux 6.0, with Vidalia Version 0.2.21 (which I assume is the latest one) running, from the Tor Bundle, my Torbutton in the Tor Bowser is shown with a red X on it. I assume this means that Torbutton is disabled, while the green onion icon of Vidalia is shown in the panel, showing that it is active (I believe).
I can understand the Torbutton being disabled in the vanilla binary of Firefox, but should this be the case in the 'hardened' version of Firefox in the the Torbundle? The Torbutton used to be the way we users learnt that vidalia was running and that we had anonymity from prying eyes when running Firefox. Is the Torbutton now defunct, and if so, which other browsers can be used to gain anonymity on the 'net? Or do we assume that any browser is safe when the vidalia green onion is running? If this is not the case, can you advise which other browsers can be used to provide anonymity with Vidalia running (eg, browsers usually used with other Linux distros, such as Iceweasel and Midori)? Thanks. ++ Graham Todd Using Trisquel Linux 6.0.
