There is a lot to be said about, but in general it is easy.
torbutton is still in the debia repos, but no more at firfox-addons. It's gone.
As far i can see right now it doesn't make any sense to install or use it.
Recommendation of the tor gang is to use the tor browser bundle.
Just download and run. Comes with tor, the browser and vidalia.
Nothing needs to be configured.
There are lots of ways to leak info, so that is really the recommended way
==== What i do ====
I am using privoxy and make the settings in browser to use it.
apt-get install tor privoxy
iceweasel-> Edit -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings:
127.0.0.1 and port 8118
set it to use for all connections
That is pretty much all about using tor.
If you ask for more settings how to _not_ leak info, i can add what i know (and lots i don't know. Most is what common sense tell us)
==== ==== ==== ====
You might ask: Why not simply use the tor-browser-bundle? I couldn't find a comfortable way to run tor and i2p from one single browser. I am a bit touchy with bookmarks and such, hence i don't want to change browser all the time.
a) Else the tor browser-bundle might be an option and
b) there are discussions in i2p right now (about exactly that subject).
I think that now one can use Tor directly. Like the previous paragraph, but use port 9050.
I have heard that, but did never do it.
PS: I awoke 5 minutes ago. I wrote the above from the top of my head. If in doubt i have made errors.
