This looks interesting. I shall give it a try. So, I uninstall torbutton, clear my proxy settings, re-install torbutton, select Preferences on the torbutton right click menu and choose 'Use recommended settings for my version of Firefox [Use Privoxy]? And this will leave privoxy active whether or not I'm enabling torbutton? -- Bob
