VERY interesting. My attempts to launch the browser through tsocks in OS2007 on my N800 were not successful, but I have since moved to OS2008. After your report, I tried your command line and it worked! I wonder if I was not using the full path to the browser in my previous attempts, or if OS2008 has changed something here.

By the way, I get the globe icon on the task bar when running the socksified browser.
