Tor embedded with TBB 7.5a2 ignores torrc
This version of Tor, which comes embedded in TorBrowser 7.5a2, seems to read only torrc-defaults when TBB is launched. Thus any changes (such as adding a second SocksPort line to torrc) get ignored unless they are made to torrc-defaults.
In particular, ps aux | grep -i tor.real
yields the following (note the argument passed to the --defaults-torrc flag):
heywood 1799 0.0 0.5 2482880 39152 ?? S 11:36AM 0:01.92 ./tor.real --defaults-torrc /Applications/Firefox_Tor_7.5a2.app/Contents/Resources/TorBrowser/Tor/torrc-defaults -f /Users/heywood/Library/Application Support/TorBrowser-Data/Tor/torrc [...] +__ControlPort 9151 +__SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9150 IPv6Traffic PreferIPv6 KeepAliveIsolateSOCKSAuth __OwningControllerProcess 1798
Moreover, if I quit TBB, move the torrc file out of ~/Library/Application Support/TorBrowser-Data/ and restart TBB, torrc gets created there anew, but it is empty (zero bytes).
