Comment (by kovagi):

 Update:
 Upon further testing of this issue, it was discovered that Sophos anti-
 virus is blocking Tor from making connections.

 To use TBB 3.5 in a Mac environment, users running Sophos must disable the
 two options found under Preferences>Web Protection:
 -"Block access to malicious websites..."
 -"Block malicious downloads from websites..."

 Users are reporting that previous versions of the TBB worked concurrently
 with Sophos.
