 Replying to [comment:6 mikeperry]:
 > What I meant was instead of creating a shim or changing *anything* on
 the Firefox side, let's just test what happens with Tor Browser as it is
 today if the Tor SOCKS handshake always responds with success to
 connection attempts, only to close later if the data doesn't actually make
 it.

 > This test requires no change to Firefox to carry out.

 Oh! So a Tor client patch you mean. I opened #5915 with what I think you
 meant.
