 Replying to [comment:3 mikeperry]:
 > Torbutton does not have a maintainer for normal Firefox. TBB is the only
 supported platform for it now. In fact, Torbutton 1.5 no longer supports
 addon updates, as it is meant to be paired with a specific TBB release
 only.

 Its sad that there is no maintainer for it. Its really a great project. I
 think a fund raiser campaign might set things right. Fusing Torbutton with
 TorBrowserBundle is good idea from developer's POV if lack of maintainer
 persists. But, then people using latest FF version or some other like
 Icecat or self-customized FF, will lack anonymity, as changing the proxy
 settings is not enough. Maybe if the TorBrowserBundle itself is reduced to
 TorButton it will be extremely useful.
