here`s the text:

I forgot that you will be prompted (since you have not previously
connected). To avoid the prompt, set
`extensions.torlauncher.prompt_at_startup` to `false` by ensuring that the
following line in present in your `prefs.js` file:
user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.prompt_at_startup", false);
The `prefs.js` file is located in your browser profile. The path is
`Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default\prefs.js.

> One more question: what about password containing both double quotes and
pound?
Our code already knew how to escape double quotes. You can use `\"` to
include them in your torrc, e.g.,
HTTPSProxyAuthenticator "mcs:secret\"quote\"#1"
