--------------------------------+-----------------------
 In TBB 3.6-beta-1 for example, if I configure a firewall restricted to
 ports 80 and 443, and ask to use the preconfigured obfs3 bridges, then the
 process bar on the "connecting" windows doesn't move and Tor never
 connects.

 If this configuration combination is not possible in Tor, it shouldn't be
 allow to set via Tor launcher in the first place.
