Comment:
Okay comment:6:ticket:23127 mentioned that it is not possible to point Tor
Browser to an own Tor instance. In particular
{{{
Set a Tor proxy(in my case, my own tor hosted on network).
}}}
did not work.
Here is what I did on Linux (which is working fine)
1) I took a clean, new Tor Browser
2) After first start I made sure `extensions.torlauncher.start_tor` and
`extensions.torlauncher.prompt_at_startup` are set to `false`
3) Restarting Tor Browser gives me a complaining `about:tor` page
4) I went to `about:preferences#advanced`, selected the Network tab and
changed the SOCKS settings to match the ones of my system tor
5) I started to browse using the system tor on my system.
Are you saying this is not working for you?
