Hello, I'm hoping one of you computer-savvy people can give a n00b a little help:

I am trying to use Tor and Privoxy in conjunction with Firefox. So far, I've gotten stuck just linking Tor to Privoxy. After looking through Privoxy's guide and getting stuck at the "Forwarding" part, I decided to give TorButton a go, though I've heard some bad things about it.

I installed Torbutton. On the bright side, it appeared to mask my IP address when I visited whatsmyip.org, so it was working. On the downside, I couldn't click any links or see any images. It absolutely forbid me to leave the Google search results page!


I haven't found anyone who has had this problem. Any suggestions? Would it be better to just not use Torbutton, and try to configure tor and privoxy by themselves--and if so, does an idiot-friendly guide exist for this?

Thanks so much for your help. I've been stuck on this for over two hours. :(
