Comment (by cypherpunks):

 1. Enable Torbutton.
 2. Restart browser.

 3. Go to "about:config".
 Now here's a problem. There is no such values.
 So I added them with boolean-false.

 > extensions.torlauncher.start_tor
 > extensions.torlauncher.prompt_at_startup

 4. Restart browser.

 5. about:preferences#advanced -> Network -> Settings.
 HTTP proxy is already set(of course).

 6. Tried to open webpage - FAIL!

 7. Damn. Disable TorButton.
 8. Restart browser.

 9. WORK LIKE A CHARM.

 > I started to browse using the system tor on my system.

 Well I use HTTP proxy. e.g., 1.2.3.4:5678.
 On my other tor machine, I use privoxy(127.0.0.1:1233).

 > Are you saying this is not working for you?

 Yes. Tested on 3 PCs(TB), all same result.
 Again, on Windows. Not Linux.
