Initial Comment:
Hi,
I use Tor now. But I'm a bit scared using this proxy
connection on sites with log in. Some sites I use have
no https. Isn't this a securety problem? Can data be
sniffed on a "Tor Proxy"? Does the "Tor Proxy" store my IP?
I didn't find this topics in the FAQ so I ask you guys.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

You shouldn't search the Privoxy FAQ for Tor
related questions. Use the docs at
http://tor.eff.org/ instead. Short answer:

Tor makes sure your real IP isn't connected
to the traffic leaving the exit node and it also
encrypts the traffic between you and the entry
node.

Your ISP or an attacker in your local network
can't read your http traffic, but it can still
be sniffed on all systems between the Tor
exit node and the target server, including the
Tor exit node itself.

Your IP can be logged until the traffic leaves
the Tor entry node.
