Comment (by mcs):

 I forgot to mention that to test this you can add a line like the
 following to your torrc:
  DormantClientTimeout 600
 This will cause tor to enter dormant mode after 10 minutes with no client-
 initiated network activity (this is the minimum allowed setting). If you
 are watching, you will see a message like the following when the
 transition to dormant mode occurs:
  Apr xx xx:00:00.000 [notice] No user activity in a long time: becoming
 dormant.
 Then you can exit and restart Tor Browser and make sure tor leaves dormant
 mode (it will be obvious if it does not, because bootstrapping progress
 will stay at 0%).
