 How to reproduce:

 1. Get tor-browser-linux32-3.0-alpha-2_en-US.tar.xz (on Debian Wheezy).

 2. The following ~/tor-browser_en-US/Data/Tor/torrc was used to produce
 this bug.

 {{{

 # The old torrc file was renamed to torrc.orig.1 or similar, and Tor will
 ignore it

 AvoidDiskWrites 1
 ControlPort 9151
 CookieAuthentication 1
 DataDirectory /home/user/tor-browser_en-US/Data/Tor
 DirReqStatistics 0
 GeoIPFile ./Data/Tor/geoip
 Log notice stdout
 SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9149
 SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9150
 SocksPort 192.168.0.31:9151
 }}}

 3. Change 192.168.0.31 in torrc above to your local LAN IP address.

 4. Start start-tor-browser.

 Result:

 about:tor will say
 {{{
 Something Went Wrong!
 Tor is not working in this browser.
 }}}

 Expected result:

 about:tor says, everything is fine.

 Hypothesis:

 I think the problem is in torbutton.js, function
 torbutton_local_tor_check.
