In the meantime I started using TOR myself from time to time, so I really understand why you are looking for this feature now. I found a similar feature request a the upstream tracker at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1230084&group_id=11118&atid=361118 the submitter suggests a workaround: Run two instances of privoxy on different ports with different config files (one with TOR and another one without) and toggle between the two instances using the mozilla switchproxy extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/125/).
