Comment (by isabela):

 Hi mcs and Brade. I followed these steps (after playing with the settings
 for a bit using the built-in bridges (PTs).  And got the following msg
 when I clicked on 'connect':
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/24371/Connect_to_Tor.png


 Replying to [comment:2 mcs]:
 > Also, if you want something close to a "first run" experience, do the
 following:
 > 1. Start Tor Browser and allow bootstrapping to complete.
 > 2. Open about:config.
 > 3. Filter on extensions.torlauncher.prompt_at_startup and toggle that
 pref so its value is "true."
 > 4. Filter on extensions.torlauncher.default_bridge_type and reset that
 pref so it has an empty value.

 When I did step 4 above it had 'snowflake' there, so I cleaned it up
 before restarting the browser and getting that msg.

 I think this is a bad experience but I want to know if the experience is
 like this for real or if this is a bug before opening a ticket.

 The reason I think is a bad experience is that if I have some
 configuration already to connect to Tor, the 'connect' button should just
 use that to connect. Or is the connect button only for direct connecting
 to Tor?
