> I actually think this ticket has the same underlying issue as #32224 (it
it is an issue at all) in that anything else than a manual proxy does not
seem to work anymore. Without looking at the code, though, nothing comes
to mind what we could have changed.
I think the difference with Tor Browser 9 compared to earlier versions is
that people cannot disable the (now built-in) Tor Launcher extension. With
Tor Launcher disabled, Torbutton did not pick up proxy settings from Tor
Launcher and — as long as no environment variables were set — did not make
any pref changes (see `setProxySettings()` inside `components/startup-
observer.js`).
A workaround is to set the `TOR_TRANSPROXY` environment variable, although
that forces the settings as follows:
{{{
this._prefs.setBoolPref("network.proxy.socks_remote_dns", false);
this._prefs.setIntPref("network.proxy.type", 0);
this._prefs.setIntPref("network.proxy.socks_port", 0);
this._prefs.setCharPref("network.proxy.socks", "");
}}}
