Also, I have never tried using the Tor browser as proxy. I use the official Linux package of the Tor Proxy software. It runs as a systemd unit on my laptop.
I’ve never had trouble with Sparrow wallet before... I’m trying to use the Tor Browser as a proxy, and connect to a public node like nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g or Bitaroo.
The browser is open, and I have toggled “use proxy” on, entered “localhost” as the Proxy URL, and set the port as 9150 (I’ve also tried 9050).
Tried restarting the browser and the wallet. Tried changing servers. Even changed my VPN in case Sparrow was scared of serving American users. All with no luck…
Did something change in Sparrow or Tor? The setup above has always worked perfectly before.

As a non-dev, I have loved being able to just open the browser and point my sparrow wallet’s proxy settings at it, lol
I’ll try your recommendation in the last note - thanks!
