Step 4:

Select "Manual proxy configuration"
Set the "SOCKS Host" address to: 127.0.0.1
Set the "SOCKS Host" Port to: 9979
Select "SOCKS v5"

When you finish your Connection Settings should look like this:

Step 5: Select "OK"

Step 6: Restart firefox and browse freely, while being on Tor!

NOTES:

Make sure you have the KORE wallet running, I myself have forgotten to start the KORE wallet before opening firefox.
You do not need to change any settings in your kore.conf
I HAVE ONLY TESTED THIS IN WINDOWS, please confirm if it works for you in linux.

Q/A
Q: Is this the Surfs Up browser?!
A: NO! This is just to hold you over until we finalize the implementation of Surfs Up browser.

Q: How can I tell if this is working?
A: there are two ways,

first you can open your tor.log and look for this line (likely it will show up several times)

Code:

New control connection opened from 127.0.0.1.

secondly, you can go to whatismyip.com or other sites similar and look at the location and IP that it displays

Q: Does this work with obfs4?
A: This uses the bridge settings of the KORE wallet as it is currently running, so if you have obfs4 configured then yes, this will work.
