-If it thinks you're not using Tor, here are some hints:

-<ol>

-<li>Did you install the Torbutton extension for Firefox? The installation

-bundles include it, but sometimes people forget to install it. Make sure

-it says "Tor enabled" at the bottom right of your Firefox window. (For

-expert users, make sure your http proxy is set to localhost port

-8118.)</li>

-<li>Do you have incompatible Firefox extensions like FoxyProxy

-installed? If so, uninstall them. (Note that using FoxyProxy is NOT

-a sufficient substitute for Torbutton. There are many known attacks

-against a browser setup that does not include Torbutton. Read more

-in the <a href="<page torbutton/torbutton-faq>">Torbutton FAQ</a> and the <a

-href="https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/design/">Torbutton design</a>

-specification.)</li>

-<li>If your browser says "The proxy server is refusing connections.",

-check that Polipo (the http proxy that passes traffic between Firefox

-and Tor) is running. On Windows, look in the task manager and check for

-a polipo.exe. On OS X, open the utilities folder in your applications

-folder, and open Terminal.app. Then run "ps aux|grep polipo".</li>

-<li>If you're upgrading from OS X, some of the earlier OS X installers

-were broken in really unfortunate ways. You may find that <a href="<page

-docs/tor-doc-osx>#uninstall">uninstalling everything</a> and then

-installing a fresh bundle helps. Alas, the current uninstall instructions

-may not apply anymore to your old bundle. Sorry.</li>

-<li>If you're on Linux, make sure Privoxy isn't running, since it will

-conflict with the port that our Polipo configuration file picks.</li>

-<li>If you installed Polipo yourself (not from a bundle), did you edit the

-config file as described? Did you restart Polipo after this change? Are

-you sure?</li>

-<li>For Red Hat Linux and related systems, do you have SELinux enabled? If

-so, it might be preventing Polipo from talking to Tor. We also run across

-BSD users periodically who have local firewall rules that prevent some

-connections to localhost.</li>
