When I start iceweasel/firefox and click on
the "enable tor" button, I get complaints that
"firefox is configured to use a proxy server
that is refusing connections."
Perhaps the excerpt from the /var/log/tor/log file below
may identify the problem.
Thanks!

Tor is one part of the overall equation - you will also need to download
the polipo package (it used to be privoxy that did the trick, but this
has changed to polipo). The configuration is usually straight forward,
but once you have that done then I'd suggest that you go to the TOR
website and read the installation/ configuration instructions germane to
your machine's architecture/ set-up. Basically though, the config will
typically be uncommenting (i.e. deleting a "#" mark) one or two lines in
the configuration file that concerns socks forwarding. I'm going off
memory here, hence the urging you to read the official documentation on
the website.
Good luck.
