-The goal is to avoid conflicting with a "system" Tor install,

-<p>

-In the past, Tor bundles included an HTTP proxy like Privoxy or Polipo,

-solely to work around a bug in Firefox that was finally fixed in Firefox

-6. Now you don't need a separate HTTP proxy to use Tor, and in fact

-leaving it out makes you safer because Torbutton has better control over

-Firefox's interaction with websites.

-If you are trying to use some external application with Tor, step zero

-should be to <a href="<page download/download>#warning">reread the set

-of warnings</a> for ways you can screw up. Step one should be to try

-to use a Socks proxy rather than an http proxy — Tor runs a Socks

-proxy on port 9050 on Windows, or <a href="#TBBSocksPort">see above</a>

-for OSX and Linux.
