New description:
I'm having a problem where I can't get Torbutton to work properly in terms
of its shutdown and startup state.
Right now I have on the Startup Settings:
On normal startup, set Tor state to: Shutdown state
On session restored startup, set Tor state to Non-tor
Have the session store save and restore these tabs:
Tabs loaded in Tor is unchecked
Tabs loaded in Non-tor is checked
With these settings, and Vidalia and Polipo running, if I have Torbutton
disabled, X out of Firefox and then
reopen it, it opens properly with the shutdown state with Torbutton
disabled.
With the same settings, if I have Torbutton enabled, X out of Firefox and
then re-open it, it starts to open
with Torbutton enabled, but then it suddenly switches to disabled and
Firefox says in the bottom left corner
"Stopped". My homepage's URL loads in the address bar, but the page itself
doesn't load. And then Firefox
just stays there on a blank page.
My understanding is that it should simply open properly to my homepage (or
likely a foreign version of it,
as I'll explain) with Torbutton enabled, which was the shutdown state.
So in other words, with these settings, it seems to startup properly if
Torbutton is disabled, but improperly
if it's enabled.
My homepage is Google.com. With Torbutton enabled, I can tell it's working
because it often goes to a foreign
Google page rather than US. So, for example, at my current Vidalia IP
settings, when Tor is on it is going to
Google.de and when it's off it's going to Google.com.
One other interesting note that may shed light on this:
If I change the setting for On session restored startup, set Tor state to:
to Tor
then the behavior changes.
With that setting, with Vidalia running, if I have Torbutton disabled, X
out of Firefox and re-open it,
Firefox opens to my homepage with Torbutton enabled, not the shutdown
state of it being disabled. Not
only that, but although Torbutton is enabled (which it shouldn't be since
my shutdown state was disabled)
it goes to Google.com, not Google.de which tells me it isn't actually on,
but only claims to be.
With this setting, if I X out of Firefox while Torbutton is enabled, it
restarts accurately on my homepage
with Torbutton enabled (and shows it is really working because it goes to
Google.de, not Google.com)
This points to the fact that perhaps for some reason, Firefox is doing
some session-restored startup even
when I just X out and then restart Firefox. In both cases, whichever
Torbutton state I have set for
"On session restored startup, set Tor state to" seems to work properly on
re-start if that is the one I
have set when I close it. The other state is the one that doesn't work in
both cases.
