It depends what you mean by "secure", but Tor Browser includes many
protections to avoid leaking private informations and make all browsers
look the same, which you will be missing if you use a standard browser
through Tor:

It's also unclear why you want to connect to an HTTP proxy through Tor
and what you are trying to solve by doing that. If your goal is to browse
websites anonymously, then using standard Tor Browser is probably what
you should do.
