Plugins do not work with TOR because they require direct access

This site caters to users of Mozilla Firefox. While Tor Browser is based on Mozilla open-source platform, it is not a product we can help you with.

Thanks for all the help and answers, it helped me a lot, but in fact I didn't understand/know the exact meaning of the errormessage : A temporary service outage prevents us from determining if your source > IP address is a Tor node.

That was the reason why I couldn't connect, and by chance it showed up right after I had installed the plugins.

Anyway, I've learned that using Plugins isn't secure, and for that I thank you, and dosen't use plugins anymore Best Regards Kim
