Hmmm not sure what that Torbutton or Tor browser are about, I run Tor per se, just plain Tor, and Torchat and my Firefox has some foxyproxy thing it uses to make it use the Tor proxy port.
I don't trust the browser not to leak some info by things like doing DNS lookups so I wouldn't trust the browser for anything I actually need to have secure anyway; Torchat seems a better approach than a browser and if making the borwser actually be secure means installing a whole new/separate browser I might as well install Torchat instead, it seems simpler enough to give me more confidence that it is not full of as yet undiscovered holes caused by some stpud resource-hogging eyecandy or earcandy or mindcandy bell or whistle that adds more vulnerability for the sake of encouraging adoption by idiots...

Foxyproxy is for switching proxy not making Tor browsing safe. Tor homepage is clear about this.
