 > And besides, the SOCKS bug I just found isn't even the bug I started
 this report for - at least it doesn't seem so to me. It seems the SOCKS
 bug and calling Tor by Vadalia from anything other than ./tor.exe bug are
 two separate bugs. What do you think?

 bundle, 2.4.10-alpha-2, that brings the same Tor Browser as 2.3.25-4. If
 you want to use other Tor versions for whatever reason, copy the tor.exe
 to "App" inside the bundle you want to use.

 There are two potential bugs discussed here:

 1. Using any other location than ./tor.exe in Vadalia causes proxy error
 in Firefox. Even if it's the full path to the Tor in \Tor Browser\App\
 (i.e., the full path to ./tor.exe)

 2. Tor alpha v0.2.4.10-win32-1 torrc is using SOCKS 9050 (secondary issue)
