TorButton Question

[Ringo]

Hey all,

Sorry I've been posting so much to the list lately, I've been working a
lot with Tor.

One thing I notice is that Torbutton sets no proxy for ftp/gopher. Is
there any particular reason it doesn't tell firefox that privoxy handles
this (which would just kill the connection). It seems to me like this
could break a user's anonymity, but I assume that there's a reason it's
like this. Can somebody explain this?
