 > Thanks again for all of these very thorough bug reports and great
 testing. I am perplexed by this one since Windows is the only platform I
 don't build Firefox 4 on and, as far as I know, the timeout patch has not
 been applied to this version.

 from the next bundle, either because we don't need it due to upstream
 patching or because I've started building FF4 on Windows from source.

 Hello,

 You didn't apply the socks patch the Windows FF 4? Where does Tor get the
 portable Windows Firefox, from PortableApps?

 Unless the guy from PortableApps included the socks patch and Tor used his
 build, I do not understand why I can skip using Polipo, even on Hidden
 Services (tho I still get timeout error on occasion, I guess if the HS or
 route is too slow). I am using the Firefox 4 Tor Bundle now, without
 Polipo, and the 'normal' Internet is better than with Polipo, IMO anyway.
