 Interesting that an older Tor Browser works, but the latest one doesn't.
 Would you please open a new bug ticket on bugs.torproject.org describing
 the details of your experiment?

 I am using OSX 10.8.5 - Mountain Lion (not Mavericks for performance
 reasons) with my OSX firewall on AND with Sophos antivirus 9.0.8. I do not
 want to relax these settings for security reasons.

 I am successfully playing with Vidalia 0.2.21 & TOR 0.2.4.9-alpha (git-
 23dd7c901287d7d8) Qt 4.8.1 (TorBrowser-2.4.9-alpha-1-osx-i386-en-US.zip)
 -- which DOES work. This is the old version with separate Vidalia and the
 old Firefox browser.

 However, when today I installed the CURRENT version of TOR
 (TorBrowserBundle-3.5.3-osx32_en-US.zip), it would not work. The TorButton
 onion turns green but I am not actually making any kind of network
 connection:

 Here are the logs:
