Comment (by mcs):

 Today, Kathy Brade and I spent some time on this issue.  Sorry for the
 delay.

 Unfortunately, I do not think we were truly able to reproduce the problem
 you experienced.  By tweaking preferences, we were always able to get
 things working correctly with a remote tor.  We tested with TBB 3.6.2
 (64-bit) on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS system with a copy of tor 0.2.4.22 running
 on another system.  Here is a "clean slate" approach that we would like
 you to try:

 1) Untar a new copy of TBB 3.6.2 into a new directory.
 2) Before you start-tor-browser, create a file named tor_browser_en-
 US/Data/Browser/profile.default/prefs.js that contains lines similar to
 the following:
 {{{
 user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.control_port", 0);
 user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.start_tor", false);
 user_pref("extensions.torbutton.settings_method", "custom");
 user_pref("extensions.torbutton.socks_host", "192.168.1.42");
 user_pref("extensions.torbutton.socks_port", 9050);
 user_pref("network.proxy.socks", "192.168.1.42");
 user_pref("network.proxy.socks_port", 9050);
 }}}

 (adjust the SOCKS host and port to point to your tor).

 Then start-tor-browser as usual.

 If the about:tor page still shows an error and/or if Torbutton indicates
 that Tor is disabled, please use about:config to set the following
 preference values (or exit the browser and edit prefs.js):
 {{{
 browser.dom.window.dump.enabled true
 extensions.torbutton.logmethod 0
 extensions.torbutton.loglevel 0
 }}}
 Then restart your browser, copy the messages that are produced at the
 command line, and paste them into this bug report.
