Default This is why Vista is the ****s to use.


This is why Vista is the ****s to use. I simply download Firefox and
Tor. It works when I have downloaded it. When I shut it down and Start
up with the Firefox Browser it will never bind to Tor. This is what I
get.

This is Privoxy 3.0.6 on deja (127.0.0.1), port 8118, enabled

Privoxy Menu:
View & change the current configuration
View the source code version numbers
View the request headers.
Look up which actions apply to a URL and why
Toggle Privoxy on or off
Documentation
Support and Service via Sourceforge:
We value your feedback. To provide you with the best support, we ask
that you:
use the support forum to get help.
submit ads and configuration related problems with the actions file
through the Actionsfile Feedback Tracker.
submit bugs only through our bug tracker. Make sure that the bug has
not yet been submitted.
submit feature requests only through our feature request tracker.

The only way I can get it to work is to competently download Firefox
and Tor again and it works. I cannot keep downloading it every time I
want to use Tor and Firefox. Vista is an unstable O/S and hard to work
with. I have given it a fare shake and I do not feel it is me or the
way I am using it. It is just a bad O/S and you should avoid buying
or upgrading to it. Stick with XP as long as you can or use another O/
S like Lunix. Sorry Vista MVP's but that is the way it is. Microsoft
is going to have a hard time getting business's to use it, as the word
is out that it is bad O/S.

Thank GOD you spoke. Nobody else knew that Vista was BAD. You should
immediately wipe Vista from your PC, install Ubuntu, then join the club with
Kevin Putzke, Just FYI, as an Ubuntu evangelist. That just might make Alias
proud to have another GENIUS on the team.

Just FYI

So. You have a program interaction between Firefox and Tor.

Businesses have no need for Tor.

Businesses have no need of Vista. My brother in the UK says most
Businesses are staying with XP in the UK. It is the comsumer that are
being sucked in as it is pre installed on many computers.Cannot even
post to the thread using Google and Vista that is how bad it is.

You are not using Vista anymore, remember?

You went back to '98.

So f**k off!

Vista is very bad.

but here you will get mostly stupid replies from fanboys attacking you
because you had the courage to stand up to the system that wants to gobble
everything up.

You have problems with the Firefox and Tor/Vidalia/Privoxy softwares, how
they interact and quite possibly their compatibility with Vista. Shouldn't
you be looking for support on Mozilla's and Tor's web sites instead of here?
