I checked yast/stystem/system services. Neither were enabled. I was only able to at first enable Tor. Privoxy was attempting to start, but exited with an error. So, I went to advanced and set Privoxy to run at Run Levels 3 and 5. I restarted after saving these settings. I opened System Services and Privoxy and Tor were both enabled, but with Asterisks near their names?

I launched Firefox, double checked my proxy settings (http and socks set as mentioned above) and set Firefox to use proxy. I hit the Tor button to enable it.

When I try to load a web page, I get Blank message in Firefox with the option to create an exception, I copied the link location:

link labeled:

Code:
Or you can add an exception…
link:

Code:
javascript:showSecuritySection();
The button reads: Try Again?

Any link I try brings this message.
