Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Hi Mo,

 When installing alpha Tor's, for use by Vadalia within TBB, I have never
 had to edit the alpha Tor's torrc. The installed (alpha) Tor uses the
 torrc of the (stable) Tor found in TBB (see attached screenshots above).

 When I start a fresh Tor alpha v0.2.4.1 (without editing its torrc) with
 TBB v2.3.25-2, Firefox can get online (SOCKS 9050). However, when I start
 a fresh Tor alpha v0.2.4.1 (without editing its torrc) with TBB v2.3.25-4
 Firefox cannot get online due to proxy error. In both cases, the alpha Tor
 is using the torrc of that TBB version. TBB v2.3.25-2 works and TBB
 v2.3.25-4 does not; the latter has proxy error even though alpha
 (installed) Tor is using the torrc within that TBB.

 Regrading SOCKS: TBB v2.3.25-4 is using 9050 according to torrc, which is
 used by vadalia.conf. The original torrc, renamed to torrc.orig.1 by
 Vadalia, lists SOCKS 9150. That's odd, no?
