Yes, TorButton's configuration is ok...and a little
more background info for those who are interested:
FF conciders a port set to zero to be an un-proxies
protocol and direct connects to the Internet.
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.proxy.(protocol)_port>
When the Socks address:proxy is set it routes other
non-proxied protocols into Socks settings.
<http://www.mozilla.org/quality/networking/docs/netprefs.html>
So because TorButton sets FF ftp and gopher to port
zero it allows the Socks proxy to route and break
ftp/gopher against Tor.
Can't ever by straight forward, ;-)
