Comment (by Me@…):

 Hello.
 Just hope this is simple.
 Open Add-ons Manager and Enable Torbutton and TorLauncher, and then
 everything will work again.

 Have a really nice day, and hope this work.

 > I saw similar behavior today with TB 7.0.11 on Ubuntu 14.0.4.
 >
 > When the browser launched, I didn't see the circuit building dialog. The
 browser said it was TB, but also said it was Firefox, with the FF logo in
 the middle. Help > About said TB, but again, the logo was the FF logo.
 >
 > about:addons showed no addons at all.
 >
 > All connection attempts resulted in the "proxy server refusing
 connections" error.
 >
 > This persisted through several browser restarts. About an hour later,
 everything started working fine again.
 >
 > I will start running TB in debug mode in case this happens again.
