I mentioned it in this thread, but my original instructions don't mention it.

Except the browser, sadly, which is why you have to do this convoluted way using about:config instead of the much more elegant tsocks.

There may be a way to restart browserd so that it uses tsocks, but in my experience, restarting browserd tends to have unwanted side effects.
