 mttp tested inputting the following bridge lines into Vidalia with a PT
 TBB bundle:

 None worked. The first line worked when the fingerprint was removed,
 meaning that Vidalia won't handle fingerprints, in addition to not
 handling the "bridge " prefix.

 This means that if #9499 is fixed, it also breaks Vidalia.

 We can either try to also fix this in Vidalia, or else make a page which
 explains that "If you're using Vidalia, you should only copy+paste the
 ip:port pair into Vidalia. You're also may be subject to MITM attacks, and
 you should upgrade your TBB to a 3.x version ASAP."
