If I remember correctly, Firefox has a bug where it won't do DNS lookups over a SOCKS proxy. It will, however do DNS lookups through an HTTP proxy that supports it, such as Polipo. If you configure Polipo to act as an HTTP proxy that forwards to the Tor SOCKS proxy, and add Polipo to your Firefox config as an HTTP proxy (you can leave Tor's SOCKS proxy entry), this may resolve the issue your are seeing, assuming DNS blocking/filtering in your country.

That's not a bug, it's firefox default behavior. To change this: 1- Go to about:config 2- Set network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to true
