Second, when you are trying to use Tor to be anonymous, don't also run a regular browser at the same time (esp. when you are logging in to sites that you are concurrently trying to log into anonymously). You can either try to be anonymous, or you can show your identity, but you cannot effectively do both at the same time from the same computer.

thanks Crowe, appreciate it much. didn't know the Tor browser was a "Firefox" browser just thought that it chose that one because it knew that my computer had it running.

i'm going to investigate all the features of the Vidalia Bundle today.
I always keep around 5 Firefox windows open with about 25 web pages open total.... closing them is not an option..... i don't know how to temporarily close them so that i can re-open them..... is their an ad-on that lets me close my windows and re-open them or an 'Options' feature that will let me do it without losing the webpages while i use TOR?

Re-booting my computer takes 4-5 minutes so i'd rather not go that route.
Why not just explain what the fuck you are trying to accomplish? It would make this easier for everyone.

Also, Tor ain't a magic bullet. If you aren't willing to even shut down other browsers, shit ain't gonna work right for you.
