That's the problem. IMHO, it can't work with the browser and the proxy running
on the same machine as a transparent proxy. Now I do it with iptables. The
line:

iptables -A OUTPUT -d ! 127.0.0.1 -m owner --uid-owner 500 -j REJECT

will force the use Squid on the loopback interface, because all packets in the
OUTPUT chain with the destination 0/0, except the localhost, and all packets
generated by a process running with uid=500 will be rejected. Squid is no
longer in a "transparent" mode, but this doesn't matter.
