ande Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Tor Browser Bundle uses port 9150 while Tor itself uses 9050.When using only Tor you should know this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgein Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 You need to search for option that force firefox to use SOCKS fro resolving hostnames, i dont use firefox, so i cant told where to find it (in seamonkey this option is under advanced proxy preferences) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
