What kind of proxy is "proxy_choosen_by_me"? I'm not aware of a proxy standard that would work the way you described. It certainly wouldn't work with HTTP forwarding proxies. And while I'm not sure, I also believe that Firefox can't access other HTTP proxies through socks proxies anyway. If that's true, you need an additional proxy before Tor, for example: Firefox -> Privoxy -> Tor -> another HTTP proxy -> web site would work. Most of the time, however, using a proxy after Tor makes no sense as it usually reduces your anonymity level again (the IP address the target website sees doesn't change). Fabian
