Comment:

 Let's make this better. Here is a patch for review:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 launcher.git/commit/?h=bug25509-01=392ba14d7d148edafa58eabb1ea18d95e917dd6d

 Old wording for the proxy help text:
  A local proxy is needed when connecting through a company, school, or
 university network. If you are not sure how to answer this question, look
 at the Internet settings in another browser or check your system's network
 settings to see whether a proxy is needed.

 Proposed wording:
  A local proxy might be needed when connecting through a company, school,
 or university network. If you are not sure whether a proxy is needed, look
 at the Internet settings in another browser or check your system's network
 settings

Comment:

 We had a ticket for this (#24200) but Isabela closed it :)

 We could use some feedback from the UX team and/or from real users, but
 "might be needed" certainly seems like an improvement to me. Does anyone
 want to volunteer to lead a process for improving the text or should we
 just do the simple thing and implement Roger's suggested change?

 For the record, the question and explanatory text that previously appeared
 on the wizard screen (prior to Tor Browser 7.5) was:
  Does this computer need to use a local proxy to access the Internet?
  o Yes
  o No

  In most cases a local proxy is not needed, but it may be required when
 connecting through a company, school, or university network.

  If you are not sure how to answer this question, look at the Internet
 settings in another browser or check your system's network settings to see
 whether a local proxy is needed.
