It uses the http proxy if it's set and you've attempted an http connection. If it's not set and you've attempted an http connection, it falls back to the socks proxy. If you're doing a non-http connection, it ignores your http proxy. In the old model where you should use polipo, you would set your http proxy to point to polipo and your socks proxy to point to tor. In the new model where polipo isn't needed anymore, you should simply set your socks proxy to point to tor. In any case, even if you use polipo, you should set your socks proxy so you will capture protocols that aren't even configurable on the proxy config page.
