Firefox 4 and TorButton



Since Firefox 4 is not currently compatible with TorButton I had to dig out the manual configuration of Firefox to use a proxy (supplied by Vidalia Tor).

The last download of the Tor bundle included TorButton and the usage of Tor for anonymous browsing was automatic.
If you have downloaded and installed Firefox 4 and now find that you cannot get it to use Tor then you need to set it manually under Tools->Options->Advanced->Network.
The dialog for FF4 is different from what I show here but the principle is the same.
