I run Tor, Privoxy, and Firefox on DragonFly. I also run Konqueror on both
DragonFly (KDE 4) and Ubuntu (KDE 3; I haven't updated it in too long). I
leave Tor enabled in Firefox all the time, and the sites I need to bypass Tor
for (Wiktionary, since I'm a Wiktionarian, localhost, and a few others) are
listed in the Privoxy conf. Also localhost is exempt from Ubuntu's Konqueror,
since if I ran it through Privoxy it would look at the DragonFly box, not the
Ubuntu box. I've been annoyed several times by Tor coming up disabled and by
tabs which I opened in Tor mode not coming up, when I thought I told it to
bring them up.
