Tor Button for Firefox Update

After the recent change / update to the Tor Project the Windows package the Tor Button for Firefox no longer works by default. I like to use the Tor Button in Firefox instead of the Tor Browser (currently Aurora, designed by Mozilla) for instances when I wish to view using add-ons such as Flash Player for videos or access my main set of bookmarks already stored within Firefox.

After searching around for a while and testing different options I found that it is necessary to make an option change to get the Firefox Tor Button working again.

1. Go to your extensions list to find the Tor Button options

2. Choose the first tab ‘Proxy Settings’

3. Untick ‘use Polipo’

Your Tor Button should now work within Firefox as with previous versions of the Tor Bundle for Windows.
