OK, here is how to reproduce second part of the issue:

1. Open Synaptic and install torbutton-extension, privoxy and tor

2. Open Firefox 3, torbutton is not showing (as already noticed)

3. Close Firefox

4. Open Synaptic, choose torbutton-extension and choose "Mark for Complete Removal" and uninstall it

5. Open Firefox, go to Tools > Add Ons, search for torbutton extension and install it. Restart Firefox as requested.

6. hen Firefox opens again, Torbutton will show on status bar, click on it so "Torbutton Enabled" appears in green

7. Hit http://check.torproject.net/, you will see that torbutton is not enabled

Try to navigate to other sites, you should be able to go everywhere and you will see Tor is obviously not used, even if "Tor Enabled" appears. Sometimes you can experience hangs during navigation.

I checked and I've Torbutton 1.2.0 installed.
