Comment:

 This is technically an issue with HTTPS-Everywhere and Firefox's proxy
 behavior... Firefox 17 now caches proxy settings for some reason, and this
 fact in combination with HTTPS-Everywhere's tor test, followed by the
 SOCKS settings change causes check.tp.o to get stuck at the previous SOCKS
 settings until you restart.
