Unfortunately nobody who can post here can post there and vice versa, but if he sees this, one thing I would point out is that you only need Privoxy if the application doesn't support socks proxies. Privoxy is an http proxy that can forward to Tor's socks proxy, which is the error that he's seeing. The failure to forward is probably due to the SR site not being reachable. In other words, the browser bundle equivalent is when you try to access a site and the connection fails. What do we usually do in that case? Refresh the list of relays and get a new identity. Don't know if he's tried that. However, there could be problems with Privoxy itself, like default time outs or something. I would suggest downloading the browser bundle (in Liberte) and trying to use that. See if the problems go away. The browser bundle is the recommended way to use Tor anyway. Ephiphany + Privoxy is an awful hack, and just one of several weird design decisions in Liberte. If the browser bundle doesn't work on Liberte, then I suggest dropping Liberte and using Tails.
