Comment(by ioerror):

 Currently, it's not possible to toggle the state of Torbutton in Fennec.
 Mike suggests that by manually configuring the proxy settings, it is
 possible to cause Torbutton to "kick in" and start protecting the user.

 I was able to enable Torbutton by manually setting the following to match
 the normal Torbutton settings for the following:
 network.proxy.http
 network.proxy.http_port
 network.proxy.no_proxies_on
 network.proxy.socks
 network.proxy.socks_port
 network.proxy.socks_remote_dns
 network.proxy.ssl
 network.proxy.ssl_port
 network.proxy.type

 With those network.proxy keys set, I was able to route through Tor to
 check.torproject.org!
