What i do is set up a tunnel in Putty like this:
Configuration -> Connection -> ssh -> tunnels:
	Source Port: 9050
	Destination: 127.0.0.1:9050
	Press "Add"
Don't forget to save the settings.

In Firefox set the SOCKS-Proxy to 127.0.0.1, Port 9050. You can leave
everything else blank.

ADDITIONALLY you want to tell your Firefox to send DNS-lookups through the
SOCKS-tunnel; open a tab, enter "about:config" as the URL, search for the key
"network.proxy.socks_remote_dns" and set it to "true".
