Bug Description
Ubuntu 8.04.1 AMD64
Linux set 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 17:53:40 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I've installed:
torbutton-extension 1.0.4-2ubuntu1
privoxy 3.0.8-1
tor 0.1.2.19-2
from synaptic.
Tor button does not show up in Firefox 3.0.1.
Then, I removed torbutton from synaptic and installed Tor Button from Firefox extension site. Now Tor button appears in status bar, but it's not working (it switches from enabled/disabled but the traffic is never relied to the proxy it seems).
Can provide more debug if required.
Tnx

Note that this is a potential security threat since it gives user the illusion that TOR is enabled, while it's not...
