Yeah... I'm sorry that TorBirdy wasn't ready for the change to 9150. It was a bit of a surprise, actually. By dropping the Vidalia bundle, we really put people in a tough space - users either need a system tor (```apt-get install tor```) or they'll have to have the TBB. > > And used this port - instead of the 9050 - and it worked.

This creates an interesting problem - basically everyone with a system Tor would be out of luck because of an arbitrary TBB configuration value. Is that really the right direction? I think that tor in TBB shouldn't be used as a system wide tor - others might think otherwise.
