 Reporter:  proper            |          Owner:  mikeperry
     Type:  defect            |         Status:  new      
 Priority:  normal            |      Milestone:           
Component:  TorBrowserButton  |        Version:

 How to reproduce:
 1. Install Tor Browser tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-2.2.37-2-dev-en-
 US.tar.gz
 2. Go to Tor Button options menu and choose "Transparent Torification
 (Requires custom transproxy or Tor router)"
 3. Press ok.

 Result:
 1. Nothing happens.
 2. When closing the Tor Button options menu and reopening it, the setting
 will be stored but defunct.
 3. Why trying to visit any websites "The proxy server is refusing
 connections".
 4. In about:config all proxy related settings are wrong.

 Expected result:
 1. Tor Button options dialog closes after pressing ok.
 2. Tor Browser uses no proxy settings at all. It behaves like a any
 ordinary non-torified application, such as wget, firefox without any proxy
 settings, etc.. Subsequently, if the user isn't using a TransProxy, he
 should use Tor Browser with its regular IP from its ISP. (Or when using
 TransProxy, the Tor IP.)
