** Are others able to access these 2 search engines in the *same TBB

files & start over.

TBB has been closed / restarted many times since problem began.

Tor 0.2.3.x is not so fun to use these days:

I recommend trying the TBB 3.0a4 (assuming you're not on Win XP and you
don't need pluggable transports):

We'll hopefully declare Tor 0.2.4.x stable real soon now. We keep getting
distracted though. Soon I hope! :)
Thanks, but - Whoa! Tor 0.2.4.x isn't declared stable, so skip it - go straight to 3.0a? I know it's got a lot of ? unproven as rock solid? features, but what about my secret "double naught" spying duties? 
But, no XP here.
Anyway, what about others reaching Startpage & Ixquick using 2.3.25-12? If they're largely unreachable for others, no point in worrying about that - plenty of other stuff to occupy myself.
