Description Andreas Donig 2008-01-03 02:00:01 UTC
Torbutton is a 1-click way for Firefox users to enable or disable the browser's
use of Tor. It adds a panel to the statusbar that says "Tor Enabled" (in green)
or "Tor Disabled" (in red). The user may click on the panel to toggle the
status. If the user (or some other extension) changes the proxy settings, the
change is automatically reflected in the statusbar.

Some users may prefer a toolbar button instead of a statusbar panel. Such a
button is included, and one adds it to the toolbar by right-clicking on the
desired toolbar, selecting "Customize...", and then dragging the Torbutton icon
onto the toolbar. There is an option in the preferences to hide the statusbar
panel (Tools->Extensions, select Torbutton, and click on Preferences).

Newer Firefoxes have the ability to send DNS resolves through the socks proxy,
and Torbutton will make use of this feature if it is available in your version
of Firefox.
