 i have installed foxyproxy recently in order to access i2p sites from
 firefox. by default foxyproxy provides a proxy configuration called
 'Default' (no proxying) that's used when a given url doesn't match any
 patterns. this means that by default all urls will be fetched directly
 without going through the tor network. at first it wasn't clear to me that
 proxy settings applied by foxyproxy override those specified in torbutton
 options. so i just added a proxy for the i2p network and some time later
 when i visited check.torproject.org i noticed that i'm not using tor
 anymore;) i think torbutton could somehow detect the presense of foxyproxy
 and at least warn user.
