Can I use Tor with WP.com?
-
Whenever I try to save a draft or publish, the button changes to the pressed state and the whirler just whirls forever. I have not been able to post anything to date. I am using the latest version of Tor. Is this a common problem?

We haven’t heard of any problems with Tor before, but I also notice that you’re using Firefox 17, which is a bit out of date (Firefox 20 was released yesterday). Would you please try updating or switching to a more up to date browser?

Thanks for the replies. I use the default Tor browser, which is a modified version of Firefox ESR – https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ – which is currently at version 17. I tested again using the latest version as of today (17.0.5) and still no dice :(
I’d humbly suggest testing Firefox ESR compatibility, since it’s intended to be used by large organizations looking for browser stability. If that succeeds, then there’s obviously a Tor-specific issue happening. Any suggestions on what info I could provide to help track it down?

Yes, I’d love to rule-out a browser-specific issue at least.
Please do these four things:
1. Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies: http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/
2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/
3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.
4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
Please let us know how each step goes for you.
Also, if you could install and try Firefox 20 temporarily just to see if that makes a difference, I’d really appreciate it.
