 There is a workaround. Using orbot directly with tbb without leaks.  You
 can reconfigure tbb to use not it's own built-in Tor Socksport but orbots.

 Go-to
 {{{
 about:config
 }}}
  And change socks 5 Port to default 9050. Traffic will now flow through
 orbot. And tbb can work fine in coexistence.

 Simply ignore the bundled Tor of tbb!
