Another tor question

.... I am using tor with firefox to browse the web. Some sites seem to 
detect & block this type of access. Sometimes, however, I seem to 
slither through, usually 1st thing in the A.M. after my (cable-modem) 
access has been offline all night & tor has dropped all of its circuits 
(according to its log file). Is that in fact an accurate analysis, i.e. 
I am browsing 'naked' until tor re-establishes circuits ? System info:
