 That's not something we will fix ourselves. But we might accept patches to
 support this use-case. Feel free to reopen this ticket in case you have a
 patch we should consider.

 Curious, eh? That's good, but it will "eat" a cat :P

 Short answer: Because I want to use HTTP proxy.
 Long answer:
 I know many people who use TBB with HTTP proxy.
 Some of reasons:
 1. To take a complete log of requests.
 2. To filter out certain destination using their DNS servers(e.g., custom
 hosts)
 3. To share Tor access with other software that doesn't support SOCKS but
 HTTP.
 4. More.

 We all understand this might reduce anomity. However, you should know that
 there are many, YES, MANY, people use Tor without Firefox! No, really,
 this
 might bring you heart attack, but it's true.

 I have several legal websites hosting on .onion. According to my access
 log,
 40% of access use non-TBB browser, such as Firefox 64bit, iPhone,
 Chrome(!),
 Safari, etc etc. I've kicked non-TBB user(return 301 )
 after I saw that.

 Back to the primary discussion,
 when will you consider custom proxy? We just want to use our own
 HTTPS/SOCKS4/5/PAC proxy
 to hide IP using Tor.

 I was actually asking about that setup I outlined above, starting with a
 clean, new Tor Browser. Why do you need those HTTP proxy settings anyway?
 Tor is only a SOCKS proxy and it alone should be enough nowadays for
 browsing needs.

 1. Enable Torbutton.
 2. Restart browser.

 3. Go to "about:config".
 Now here's a problem. There is no such values.
 So I added them with boolean-false.

 > extensions.torlauncher.start_tor
 > extensions.torlauncher.prompt_at_startup

 4. Restart browser.

 5. about:preferences#advanced -> Network -> Settings.
 HTTP proxy is already set(of course).

 6. Tried to open webpage - FAIL!

 7. Damn. Disable TorButton.
 8. Restart browser.

 9. WORK LIKE A CHARM.

 > I started to browse using the system tor on my system.

 Well I use HTTP proxy. e.g., 1.2.3.4:5678.
 On my other tor machine, I use privoxy(127.0.0.1:1233).

 > Are you saying this is not working for you?

 Yes. Tested on 3 PCs(TB), all same result.
 Again, on Windows. Not Linux.

 Hey, I didn't know about these values until now! I just disabled them
 because
 these 2 addons won't let me to set my own proxy!

 This should be documented to trac with title: "Q. I want to use my own Tor
 Proxy or other proxy. How can I do it?".

 I'll try your step soon.

Comment:

 Okay comment:6:ticket:23127 mentioned that it is not possible to point Tor
 Browser to an own Tor instance. In particular
 {{{
 Set a Tor proxy(in my case, my own tor hosted on network).
 }}}
 did not work.

 Here is what I did on Linux (which is working fine)

 1) I took a clean, new Tor Browser
 2) After first start I made sure `extensions.torlauncher.start_tor` and
 `extensions.torlauncher.prompt_at_startup` are set to `false`
 3) Restarting Tor Browser gives me a complaining `about:tor` page
 4) I went to `about:preferences#advanced`, selected the Network tab and
 changed the SOCKS settings to match the ones of my system tor
 5) I started to browse using the system tor on my system.

 Are you saying this is not working for you?

 Connection Settings

 O - Manual Proxy configuration:

 HTTP Proxy: :
 SSL Proxy: :
 FTP Proxy: :
 SOCKS Host: (both empty)
 O - SOCKS v5

 No proxy for:
 localhost

 [-] Do not prompt
 [V] Proxy DNS WHEN using S5
 --

 When TorButton is disabled:
 TB use HTTP proxy for http/https access as expected.

 When TorButton enabled:
 TB refuse to connect. Above settings are not modified.
 If I disable the addon again, it works as expected.

 So consider add a checkbox to TorButton to allow custom proxy.
