Comment(by cypherpunks):

 However, mo, I'm not sure this is a Vadalia issue:

 The version of Vadalia hasn't increased between TBB v2.3.25-2 and
 v2.3.25-4. Yet, Firefox can connect to the Internet from TBB v2.3.25-2
 using installed Tor alpha (e.g., v0.2.4.10-alpha-win32-1) in \PROG FILES
 (x86)\ via Vadalia v0.2.21.

 However, if I try the same as above, with TBB v2.3.25-4 and Tor alpha
 v0.2.4.10-alpha-win32-1, Firefox times-out and cannot connect to the
 Internet.

 Is this maybe an issue with updating Firefox from v10 to v17.0.3esr?
 That's what I think may be the issue, now that I know the previous version
 of TBB works just fine with current alpha Tor installed into \PROG FILES
 (x86)\ . . .

 I think this should be changed back to TBB ticket for Erinn, but I'll
 defer to her, Chipph and you.

 Thanks
