Summary: Firefox will not hold manual proxy setting for Privoxy

Initial Comment:
I am working with Privoxy 3.0.8 in Windows XP with Firefox.  After setting the \
correct manual proxy settings in Firefox, Privoxy works fine unless I close the \
browser, go away awhile, and then reopen Firefox.  I find that for some reason \
Firefox has reset the radio button to direct connection to internet and the IP:Port \
for Privoxy are no longer present.  What is causing this to reset?

On another computer, when I installed Privoxy, in the proxy setting area of Firefox, \
the "no proxy for:" section has localhost, 127.0.0.1.  This is not the case for the \
second computer.  Should this be one way or another.

I would like to chain this with Tor.  But I seem to be having problems right now with \
the settings holding for Privoxy.  SOCKSv5 was already selected and I left it the \
same.  I have not changed any files yet and just using the default settings for \
Privoxy.

Mike

While its a strange problem, I can't see how Privoxy can effect any of
this. It sounds to me like the settings are not able to be written to disk,
so they are lost when the browser is closed, like a
administrator/privileges situation. But thats a wild guess. 

The no proxy for localhost is up to you. Its probably a safe thing, but if
you don't serve files locally it might be a non-issue. Normally, its not a
factor since localhost is trusted not to be a banner farm, etc. ;-)
