Comment:

 Hm. What happens if you use Tor Browser's own means for configuring your
 proxy? You can do that on the launcher wizard (instead of connecting
 directly you need to choose the configure option). And later on if you
 don't have a proxy available you can remove that option on the wizard
 again as it is otherwise not connecting.
