Confirming, firefox doesn't connect with privoxy's default configuration.
The ipv4 port 8118 is closed, only the ipv6 8116 port is listening:

nmap -p 8118 localhost

Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-02-08 07:32 CET
Warning: Hostname localhost resolves to 2 IPs. Using 127.0.0.1.
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
PORT STATE SERVICE
8118/tcp closed privoxy

According to the documentation privoxy is supposed to listen on 127.0.0.1:8118 by default, with "listen-address localhost:8118" in /etc/privoxy/config.

"If the hostname is localhost, Privoxy will explicitly try to bind to an IPv4 address."

This is not the case in lucid, privoxy listens on ::1 only.

Here is a workaround: In /etc/privoxy/config change the line
listen-address localhost:8118
to
#listen-address localhost:8118
