 Let's assume you have something like that in your torrc-defaults file in
 Tor Browser:
 {{{
 SocksPort 9150 IPv6Traffic PreferIPv6 KeepAliveIsolateSOCKSAuth
 SocksPort 9160 IPv6Traffic PreferIPv6 KeepAliveIsolateSOCKSAuth
 ControlPort 9151
 CookieAuthentication 1
 }}}
 And let's say you point your Torbirdy to 9160. That setup works perfectly
 fine with Tor Browser 6.5a3 and breaks with 6.5a4. Setting
 `extensions.torlauncher.socks_port_use_ipc` to `false` (trying to simulate
 the old behavior) does not fix it. Nor does setting `TOR_SOCKS_PORT=9150`
 help. In fact, looking at the code it seems this is not supported anymore
 which we should fix.
