	You'll need to change FireFox and the OSX proxy settings to just
	use SOCKS5 on localhost port 9050.  If you don't have Privoxy
	running, obviously you can't point applications at port 8118.
	To be clear, remove the settings for HTTP, HTTPS, Gopher, FTP in
	the proxy settings, and only set the SOCKS line.  

	Torbutton 1.04 provides an option for disabling Privoxy
	configuration in Firefox, but still using Tor.  Unfortunately,
	addons.mozilla.org doesn't provide 1.04 yet.  The latest is
	available at http://freehaven.net/~squires/torbutton/
