Comment (by acat):
>I'm also personally in favor of nuking the existing 'Network Settings' in
the General panel. For most users, it's just an easily accessible footgun.
I think we can expect that users doing clever things with a custom Tor
setup should be clever enough to edit network.proxy.socks and
network.proxy.socks_port directly.

>If we keep Firefox's Network Settings in General Preferences, do we still
need local proxy settings in Tor Network Settings?
If I'm not mistaken, proxy in Firefox Network settings means the proxy
that Firefox will use to connect to Internet (which should always be the
local Tor client), while proxy in Tor Network Settings means the proxy
that the Tor client will use to connect to the Internet.
So I think yes, if we were to keep Firefox Network settings, I think we
still would need local proxy in Tor Network Settings (unless we want to
repurpose the Firefox proxy settings UI, which I think might be
confusing).
