 Replying to [comment:2 proper]:
 > As far I understand, this is up to {{{Make Tor Launcher work with Unix
 Domain Socket option}}} (#14272). What is Tor Button's role in this?

 Torbutton includes code that interacts with tor via the control port
 (e.g., newnym, circuit display).  If we disable all TCP in Tor Browser,
 control port communication will need to be via a Unix domain socket as
 well (so Torbutton will need to be modified).
