 Arthur - can you have a look?

 This turned out to be a bad bug where the proxyInfo was being cached for a
 given URL, even though the username/password had changed. Obviously that's
 very bad for circuit isolation. I've posted a patch here:
 https://github.com/arthuredelstein/tor-
 browser/commit/981c39e35f07cfa6a4bf934ba463f78d4ab796ce

 Another bug shows up once my fix is applied: #14866.
