Comment:

 Do you know if this worked with older versions of Tor Browser, e.g.,
 7.5.6?

 Tor Launcher, via the tor control port, adds info about the configured
 SOCKS5 proxy to the `torrc` file. Please attach the contents of that file
 to this ticket (after you redact the user name and password). On Linux,
 Tor Browser's torrc file is located in `Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/torrc`
 within the installation directory.

 I am not familiar enough with tor internals to be sure what leads to the
 `Could not create SOCKS args string` message. Adding Nick to the Cc in
 case he can shed some light.
