Luis, did you upgrade tor just before you noticed this problem? Do you use privoxy or vidalia?
Immediately after an upgrade to tor some time ago, I began experiencing a similar problem. I noticed that I seem to no longer have the option to choose socks 4a but must use socks5 which last I knew is not really compatible with privoxy, which might explain my problem.
I'd like to troubleshoot this by encrypted email if anyone is willing. On Wed, 2 Nov 2011, Luis Maceira wrote:
I have used Torbutton-1.2.5 and Firefox 3.6.23 and the Torbutton status of active stays permanently,after closing an opening Firefox and so on.Now,with the new Torbutton and Firefox when I open Firefox the Torbutton is ALWAYS disabled,I turn it on and if I close Firefox when I open it again turned off again.Is this a design choice or is there some problem around?In the same browser session have it turned off click the icon turned it on,is this secure? Tor works at first sight normally,but is it really secure? _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
