 I'm using TBB as normal browser, using HTTP proxy(privoxy).
 To do this you have to disable Torbutton and TorLauncher.

 By disabing Torbutton, I can set my own http proxy.
 However, when it's disabled,

 1. =(burger mark) > "(arrow) Firefox sync" button is appear
 2. = > (?) > "About Tor Browser" > it now says "Firefox ESR 6.0a5".
 etc.

 So, why not allow user to set their own proxy with Torbutton enabled?
 When it's enabled, "Firefox ESR" will be replaced to "Tor Browser".
