osx installer problems on several machines

[Darren Thurston]

Hi,

How do I file a bug report? I ran into this FAIL on two seperate Apple  
machines last night at Tor Night at the VanHackSpace. Tried on a fresh  
install here with same results. I still have not narrowed down what is  
causing the problem, it looks like the browser is not connecting to  
the polipo from what I can tell.

any ideas?

Cheers,
Darren

#Started Firefox and it gives me the alert:

The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing  
connections.

     *   Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.

     *   Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy  
server is
           working.


#top tells me their all the correct things are running:


202- polipo       0.0       00:00.00 1    0    14   28   120K   240K    
492K
201- tor          0.0       00:01.27 1    0    18   43   5344K  1128K

36M


 From what I can tell the proxy settings in FF are set correctly:

HTTP Proxy 127.0.0.1:8118
SSL Proxy 127.0.0.1:8118
SOCKS 5 127.0.0.1:9050


and it looks like all the settings are correct in Vidalia
