Tor Browser doesn't work on OSX 10.8.5 - Mountain Lion
Interesting that an older Tor Browser works, but the latest one doesn't. Would you please open a new bug ticket on bugs.torproject.org describing the details of your experiment?
I am using OSX 10.8.5 - Mountain Lion (not Mavericks for performance reasons) with my OSX firewall on AND with Sophos antivirus 9.0.8. I do not want to relax these settings for security reasons.
I am successfully playing with Vidalia 0.2.21 & TOR 0.2.4.9-alpha (git-23dd7c901287d7d8) Qt 4.8.1 (TorBrowser-2.4.9-alpha-1-osx-i386-en-US.zip) -- which DOES work. This is the old version with separate Vidalia and the old Firefox browser.
However, when today I installed the CURRENT version of TOR (TorBrowserBundle-3.5.3-osx32_en-US.zip), it would not work. The TorButton onion turns green but I am not actually making any kind of network connection:
Here are the logs:
