Firefox displays the 503 error page, saying " This is Privoxy 3.0.3
on localhost (127.0.0.1), port 8118, enabled"
"Connect failed
Your request for http://foo@xxxxxxxxxxx could not be fulfilled,
because the connection to foo@xxxxxxxxxxx (127.0.0.1) could not be
established.
This is often a temporary failure, so you might just try again."
The easiest way to get this error message is not to start Tor,
or have it listening on another address than Privoxy is expecting.
Make sure that Tor is running and that its local address
is the one Privoxy is configured to use:
fk@TP51 ~ $lynx -dump http://config.privoxy.org/show-status | grep  
socks4
   [46]forward-socks4a / 10.0.0.2:9050 .
fk@TP51 ~ $sockstat -4l -p 9050
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN  
ADDRESS
256      tor        862   5  tcp4   10.0.0.2:9050         *:*
