No. Torifying a web browser means to set its web-proxy to the local tor-ified web proxy, which in turn knew how to be a member of the tor network. tsocks intercepted calls to "socket(2)" at the lowest level, replacing them with versions that would call something like tor_socket() which also knew how to get onto the tor network. tsocks was rather magical. No surprise the magic dust wore out. -- Randal L.
