Comment (by acat):

 >I'm also personally in favor of nuking the existing 'Network Settings' in
 the General panel. For most users, it's just an easily accessible footgun.
 I think we can expect that users doing clever things with a custom Tor
 setup should be clever enough to edit network.proxy.socks and
 network.proxy.socks_port directly.
 +1

 >If we keep Firefox's Network Settings in General Preferences, do we still
 need local proxy settings in Tor Network Settings?
 If I'm not mistaken, proxy in Firefox Network settings means the proxy
 that Firefox will use to connect to Internet (which should always be the
 local Tor client), while proxy in Tor Network Settings means the proxy
 that the Tor client will use to connect to the Internet.

 So I think yes, if we were to keep Firefox Network settings, I think we
 still would need local proxy in Tor Network Settings (unless we want to
 repurpose the Firefox proxy settings UI, which I think might be
 confusing).
