 Please never make Tor Browser (Button) dependent on having a Tor
 controller connection. If it always could work without, that would be
 awesome.

 Otherwise this would break the ability to run Tor Browser behind an
 Transparent Proxy Anonymizing Middlebox, where by design connection to the
 Tor control port are forbiden. (Because "getinfo address" leaks the real
 IP.)
