-Typically Tor listens for Socks connections on port 9050. TBB listens
-on port 9150.
-The goal is to avoid conflicting with a "system" Tor install,
-so you can run a system Tor and TBB at the same time. We're <a
-href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3948">working on
-a feature</a> where Tor will try the usual ports first and then back
-off to a random choice if they're already in use.

-Polipo go?</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-In the past, Tor bundles included an HTTP proxy like Privoxy or Polipo,
-solely to work around a bug in Firefox that was finally fixed in Firefox
-6. Now you don't need a separate HTTP proxy to use Tor, and in fact
-leaving it out makes you safer because Torbutton has better control over
-Firefox's interaction with websites.

-<p>
-If you are trying to use some external application with Tor, step zero
-should be to <a href="<page download/download>#warning">reread the set
-of warnings</a> for ways you can screw up. Step one should be to try
-to use a Socks proxy rather than an http proxy — Tor runs a Socks
-proxy on port 9050 on Windows, or <a href="#TBBSocksPort">see above</a>
-for OSX and Linux.

-However, please realize that this approach is not recommended for novice

- We don't support IE, Opera or Safari and never plan to. There are
- too many ways that your privacy can go wrong with those browsers, and
- because of their closed design it is really hard for us to do anything

-We are working with the Chrome people to modify Chrome's internals so that we can eventually support it. But for now, Firefox is the only safe choice.
