Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:3945 arma]:
 > In the mean time, perhaps we should disable the 'socksport auto' thing
 in the TBB's we ship.

 We should be aware that we're going to resume encountering the other set
 of confused users (the ones who caused us to deploy this feature in the
 first place), once we make it so TBB mysteriously doesn't work when you
 already have some other Tor running.

 Those users may be harder to explain things to than the ones who are
 clueful enough to try to use other apps with their Tor.
