 I am using Tor browser on a Microsoft Active Directory joined computer.
 Domain admins set up Group Policy Objects configuring Firefox to use a
 proxy auto-configuration script.
 That setting from GPO overrides automatic Tor Browser setting to use
 localhost:9150 and when I try to navigate I get "Unable to connect" error
 page.
 Tor Browser connection settings are locked by the GPO, as it is in the
 installed version of Firefox, and I cannot change them manually.
