 Hi.

 In the FAQ, I find the following statement:

 'If your browser says "The proxy server is refusing connections.", check
 that Polipo (the http proxy that passes traffic between Firefox and Tor)
 is running.'

 This is a good start, but it doesn't give the user any clue about what to
 do if polipo is _not_ running. Strongly suggest that at the very least you
 could tell people to examine the polipo crash log. (I didn't even know
 that there was such a log; I found it largely by accident.)

 Thanks --
 jon
