[tor-relays] Strange Problem Browsing Blocked Websites‏

[Tor Relays at brwyatt.net]

If I remember correctly, Firefox has a bug where it won't do DNS lookups
over a SOCKS proxy. It will, however do DNS lookups through an HTTP proxy
that supports it, such as Polipo. If you configure Polipo to act as an HTTP
proxy that forwards to the Tor SOCKS proxy, and add Polipo to your Firefox
config as an HTTP proxy (you can leave Tor's SOCKS proxy entry), this may
resolve the issue your are seeing, assuming DNS blocking/filtering in your
country.
