Bug Description

Binary package hint: torbutton-extension

I installed torbutton-extension 1.2.0-1ubuntu1 in a fresh install of ubuntu 9.04 . After relaunching firefox , it notified me about the successful installation. I added the torbutton to the navigation toolbar , toggled it and went to https://check.torproject.org . It says 'Sorry. You are not using Tor.' No ootb experience :((

I expected https://check.torproject.org to tell me I was using torbutton.

This is a security vulnerability (user thinks he is torified while he's not)
