 Tor Browser Bundle 5.0.2 -- Tor Button 1.9.3.2. On Linux systems:

 I use a Tor relay on my local network, to which I connect to through a
 stunnel (spawned by xinetd on the client side, and spawned by systemd on
 the server side - where the relay is). I have set a password in the start-
 tor-browser script, and modified the values as instructed in that script.
 When I then start Tor, I'm greeted by the "Something Went Wrong!
 Tor is not working in this browser." screen, and the Tor button is grayed
 out. Yet, I can surf to onion sites, and the Tor button shows the Tor
 circuit for the site I'm on. I assume that at least anonymous surfing is
 working well, but it's confusing and induces quite a bit of insecurity
 when the browser reports that it's all disabled.
