Comment(by 7__r):

 I found a solution. I downloaded the Vidalia Bundle (the latest version
 with TorButton 1.4.3) and used it with polipo. I used the 172.0.0.1:9050
 proxy for http and ssl. check.torproject.org gives me "Congratulations"
 and Test Sittings in TorButton preferences gives me the same. I can access
 twitter as usual and even with the auto-scroll, but the problem is there
 is no certificate for the website. Firefox says "This site does not supply
 identity information. Your connection to this site is only partially
 encrypted and does not prevent eavesdropping". This problem is only with
 twitter and even though I disabled HTTPS-Everywhere extension.
 So maybe the main problem is with twitter certificate or some other
 problem happened when the developers fixed the auto-scroll bug.
 I want to know if this solution works and if it safe. I live in Syria and
 you probably know what's going on here. If they (security) caught me I
 could return home a dead body.
