Did you also install TOR and setup privoxy? It is all a bit confusing. I 
think TORbutton should actually be called privoxybutton, because it 
activates privoxy, which doesn't necessarily communicate with TOR. To 
make things more confusing, TOR isn't included in the ubuntu repository, 
but privoxy and torbutton are. Just follow the instructions on this page 
to get things set up:
