Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:3 teor]:
 > I think this branch fixes the issue after quitting the browser. It might
 also fix the stalled bootstrap or error, but I'm not sure. Can you re-test
 with this branch?

 Neither of those cases is fixed for me. I am still getting the error that
 Tor was unable to connect to an `obfs3` address even though I switched to
 `obfs4` during start-up. And after restarting I am stuck at
 {{{

 accept non-control network connections. Shutting down all existing
 connections.

 }}}
 So, the only thing that is gone is
 {{{
 [notice] Ignoring directory request, since no bridge nodes are available
 yet.
 }}}
 I used d7833c9d27feed9e for testing.
