TBA 60.6.0 UI breaks proxy compatibility

Problem: TBA 60.6.0 doesn't allow to connect to SOCKS proxy and also doesn't allow bypass of built-in Orbot.

Why it is a problem: I live in a country that blocks Tor so efficiently that I need comercial VPN services to connect to Tor. I don't trust the apps of those companies with a system wide VPN (which I also still need it for the separate Orbot VPN) and have it expose a SOCKS5 instead.

Before Upgrade: TBA>separate Orbot SOCKS5>commercial VPN service app SOCKS5>internet After I start TBA I use my phone's back button to bypass the built-in Orbot. I open about:config and change the SOCKS port to the one from the separate Orbot. Then I browse as normal.

After Upgrade: The built-in Orbot can not be bypassed. I can also not connect it directly to the commercial app. I can not browse the internet.
