 Priority:  major    |      Milestone:        
Component:  Vidalia  |        Version:        
 Keywords:           |         Parent:

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 System: Windows 7 64 bit
 TBB: tor-browser-2.3.25-8_en-US
 Behavior: FF complains that the proxy server refuses connections "The
 proxy server is refusing connections"

 How to reproduce:

 Open Vidalia's settings> Advanced tab> Uncheck Randomly Generate> type a
 password (lets say 123) > Hit "OK"> Restart TBB

 You will get an error message from FF as the following "The proxy server
 is refusing connections"

 Now, check the torrc file and you will see that the SocksPort is set to
 9050 when it should be 9150.

 Even if you go back to vidalia's settings a check "Randomly Generate" the
 password the SocksPort is still to 9050.
