#9690: TBB Breaks After Failed Reachability Test

-------------------------+---------------------------------
 When I run the latest TBB build from the Tor Project site as a client
 everything works perfectly. When I go into my settings and try and run a
 relay as a non-exit, it fails the reachability test. This is expected
 because I live in a country where every ISP engages in heavy port
 blocking. Once I try to "attempt to automatically configure port
 forwarding" and/or "configure control port automatically", whenever I
 start the Tor Browser Bundle it alerts me that "The proxy server is
 refusing connections" and I can't load any web pages. Even if I restore
 the TBB to its default settings and use it in client mode, and restart it
 numerous times, it doesn't work. I don't know why, but I have to delete
 everything (including the preferences file) and run a fresh copy.

 TBB Version 2.3.25-12 - OS X (64-Bit)
