Comment:

 Let's make this better. Here is a patch for review:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 launcher.git/commit/?h=bug25509-01&id=392ba14d7d148edafa58eabb1ea18d95e917dd6d

 Old wording for the proxy help text:
  A local proxy is needed when connecting through a company, school, or
 university network. If you are not sure how to answer this question, look
 at the Internet settings in another browser or check your system's network
 settings to see whether a proxy is needed.

 Proposed wording:
  A local proxy might be needed when connecting through a company, school,
 or university network. If you are not sure whether a proxy is needed, look
 at the Internet settings in another browser or check your system's network
 settings
