Here is a fix:

ro0ter, you can work around this bug by editing the torrc file that is
part of your Tor Browser installation. You will want to ensure that your
torrc includes lines that look like the following:
HTTPSProxy 1.2.3.4:80
HTTPSProxyAuthenticator "mcs:secret#1"
The `HTTPSProxy` value should be `host:port` and the value for
`HTTPSProxyAuthenticator` should be `"username:password"`.
Note that if you later use our GUI to make changes, your manual changes
will be overwritten.
