Why does Tor not properly work?

thenarwhal · 07-18-2013, 06:26 PM

When I download and run Tor/Vidalia on my Ubuntu Linux it starts and says that I am connected to the network but never starts firefox so I can access it, I can't find any other forum with answers to this problem so I thought I could ask for help here.

Start Firefox manually, change proxy settings to use the TOR port, visit https://check.torproject.org/ in your browser and tail the TOR server log?

install the tor-bundle !!!
or
manually do a LOT of things
install the "tor-button" on firefox
install https everywhere on firefox
install "no-script"
UNINSTALL ALL media plugins
UNINSTALL flash
UNINSTALL java
and MOST important !!!!
-- DISABLE ALL COOKIES !!!!
