Work's great!! But I had to install polipo first because I hadn't (apt-get install polipo). In addition, the link to torButton firefox plugin is https-www_torproject_org/dist/torbutton/torbutton-current_xpi (change "-" for "://" and "_" for ".")
Great tips thank you for sharing your information with us regarding hide ip address in Ubuntu.
