If Tor Browser complains that "Firefox" can't find the configured proxy,
that presumably means that Tor Browser can't talk to Tor.  Tor Browser
Bundle is supposed to run both Tor and Tor Browser when you run it... so
it sounds like Tor may have failed in some way.  Or perhaps a firewall
is preventing Tor Browser from connecting to Tor (which would presumably
be 127.0.0.1:9150).

I wouldn't expect this to be caused by Tor being unable to talk to the
Internet.
