Firefox is on 2.0.0.8 and will soon have 2.0.0.9 released.
Firefox 2.0.0.7 has serious issues with security.

Damn, and I thought *I* was a wanting beeyatch.
Joan Battaglia asked:

- Directly (if the newsreader supports proxies)
- Stunnel
- OmniMix
In article <MzdUi.1690$Vx3.636@nlpi069.nbdc.sbc.com>

The above configuration is for firefox without the tor button
running through privoxy (8118). If you are satisfied with
your security without privoxy, there is no need to change the
configuration.
Actually, I don't even know if the above config would work
with the tor button. And you don't really need privoxy,
so just stick with what works.

Someone else mentioned a few ways, but let me add another:
Freecap.
(Or sockscap, if you can still get it and make it work)
