It's Tor that doesn't work in 10.4.  (See the bug list at http:// 
bugs.noreply.org/flyspray/index.php?do=details&id=126)

If you type in a command line window "export EVENT_NOKQUEUE=yes" and  
then start Tor, it seems to work, although I have no idea what  
adverse effects that might do.

If you don't mind loosing some of your anonymity, you can comment out  
the line: "forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 ." towards the end of the  
Privoxy config file by adding a "#" at the beginning of the line.   
Then Privoxy will work on it's own without Tor.  At least then you  
wouldn't have to view all the crappy advertising.

Hope that helps.
