[tor-talk] Thunderbird 31.3.0 doesn't honor Tor proxy configuration

I'm using Thunderbird 31.3.0 and I went into the programs network
configuration. I told it to use 127.0.0.1 port 9050 for all
connections including SOCKS5. However, when I tried to connect to a
hidden service, it failed. The connection just sat there doing nothing.

So, I installed FoxyProxy and performed the same configuration there.
As soon as I enabled FoxyProxy, the connect went through with no problem.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior when configuring Thunderbird
manually? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Cypher
