In a previous step, they have you do this:
Add the following line to /etc/privoxy/config. You can put it at the top of
the file if you want (Don't forget the last dot.)
Quote:
forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .

I guess with these I can get pretty close to what Torpark makes so easy.
Some fiddling with Firefox and/or using extensions would have to be done on
top of that to manage cookies in a similar manner, etc.

I've written two very simple Firefox extensions, but I don't think I could
figure out how to do all the stuff that Torpark does. FoxyProxy looks like
it might help with it as well.
