Comment:

 brade and I have a possible fix:

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/torbutton.git/commit/b9229102ee6e5098c11af49a04ca0669a0c02fd4

 The basic idea is to show failure on the about:tor page when Torbutton
 cannot connect to the proxy (i.e., to tor).  We tested it by disabling Tor
 Launcher.
