Polipo was removed a long time ago because it is no longer needed.  See:
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/new-tor-browser-bundle-packages-0

Privoxy performed the same functions so it also isnt needed.

The FAQ item explaining this was removed as well, but a dangling
reference to it remained behind:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorFAQ#WhydoweneedPolipoorPrivoxywithTorWhichisbetter

Polipo is still mentioned in the "new" FAQ (even in association with
Mozilla) which could lead to confusion.
