localhost:9050 is a common port for the system tor socks proxy to run
on. Are you sure you didn't also do some sort of tor configuration or
reconfigure your proxy settings around the same time as installing
https-everywhere
No, I did no proxy configuration. I just installed Firefox with HTTPS
Everywhere and when the plugin is enabled my firewall detects
connections to 127.0.0.1:9050.
Given that HTTPS Everywhere has some internal Tor support, I wonder if
it's simply checking to see if a typical Tor install is available?
