Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:5741 cypherpunks]:
 > This is not the first time some rarely triggered bug in Firefox causes
 Tor to be bypassed, and certainly will not be the last one. Since these
 bugs have a very high security impact I propose they are guarded against.
 How about running Firefox inside some kind of firewall that drops all
 network packets not going to Tor?

 It would be great to see some very simple instructions for launching Tails
 in a VM in Windows.
