I read the commit log and its diff. Everything seems me fine, but one
thing: the TOR_SOCKS_PORT set in /etc/environment by commit 6a2de87. It
seems me dangerous to set the socks port meant for the web browser only
(for stream isolation) as a global environment variable with such a
general name.

In addition to that, next commit (6629701) reads:

    Move some network.proxy.* prefs to user.js.


    It seems that they are not taken into account, with Torbutton
    1.5.x, unless set as user prefs.


And adds:

    +// Proxy and proxy security
    +user_pref("network.proxy.socks", "127.0.0.1");
    +user_pref("network.proxy.socks_port", 9063);
    +user_pref("network.proxy.socks_remote_dns", true);
    +user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1);


So I wonder if the previous commit setting environment is actually
useful. It it is, I would prefer to set these environment variables set
for iceweasel only, e.g. in the wrapper that we would probably create
anyway to solve https://tails.boum.org/todo/dont_autostart_iceweasel/.

Once there is an answer to this point I think we can merge this branch.

Cheers,
