I am using Torbutton.  It is supposed to Torrify Firefox - yes?
In a roundabout way, yes. Torbutton forwards Firefox traffic to Polipo,
which in turn sends the traffic to the SOCKS port of Tor. Disabling
Torbutton and entering the Tor SOCKS information into Firefox's network
configuration would skip the Polipo part, and eliminate any problems you
might be having with some hidden Polipo cache.
Turning off 'Use Polipo' in the Torbutton Preferences dialog would be
easier and much safer.

Do this. I haven't used Tor as a client in months, I'd completely forgotten this was an option. My bad.
