 In the past it was possible to remove Tor Launcher from TB and use TB for
 direct connection (no proxy). Now (5.5) Torbutton asks to be disabled to
 allow that.

 Moreover, with Torbutton disabled, TB with the no proxy setting is "unable
 to find the proxy server" when opening a website, though it does work with
 an HTTP proxy.
