Comment:

 Good news:
 I tested it with tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-2.3.22-alpha-1-dev-en-
 US.tar.gz and Tor Button 1.6.2 from git signed tag 1.4.6.2. Added "export
 TOR_TRANSPROXY=1" to the top of the startup script. It will enable
 transparent torification and it's working.

 Bad news:
 There is a bug. After testing "export TOR_TRANSPROXY=1", close the
 browser, disable it: "export TOR_TRANSPROXY=0" and start the browser
 again. First bad surprise is, that transparent torification is still
 enabled. Even if you manually set proxy settings to recommend settings or
 custom settings, after the next restart you are back in transparent
 torification mode.

 I think this bug is related to #6566 broken "Transparent Torification
 (Requires custom transproxy or Tor router)".
