Comment (by cypherpunks):

 The test setup still had 'extensions.torbutton.use_nontor_proxy' set to
 true. When it's set to false, socks username/password get set.

 TBB doesn't actually use the values from TOR_SOCKS_IPC_PATH /
 TOR_SOCKS_PORT, it just checks if they are set (which prevents the Firefox
 proxy setting from being overwritten). TBB uses the Firefox
 network.proxy.socks / network.proxy.socks_port.

 Is there any documentation?
