Try this:

in Privoxy you must have these lines:

listen-address  127.0.0.1:8118
forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .    <- don't forget the dot at the end...


in Firefox, tools | options | connections parameters

Http Proxy Localhost (or 127.0.0.1) 8118
SSL Proxy  Localhost (or 127.0.0.1) 8118
Socks Host Localhost (or 127.0.0.1) 9050

Hope this help. 
Let us know.
:)
