Good day!  
I use TorBrowser and check the connection by Nyx program. And I found that TorBrowser creates tor-connection and use it the same way as tor-deamon creates connection.

And I thought Is it possible to connect to this created tor-connection with another browser?  
For what goals does the firefox.r (torbrowser) use 9151 port ?  
Is the port 9050 (default in config-file) still usable?  
I have tried to use port 9050 in the pure Firefox but I always get an error “The proxy server refuses to accept connections” although tor-browser works perfectly.

Supplement:  
Occasionally I found the answer in this post [Youtube doesn't work - #7 by WofWca](https://forum.torproject.org/t/youtube-doesnt-work/15673/7)  
Using port 9150 ( instead 9050) I was able to connect to TorBrowser connection and use it power to reach needed site.  
Solved!

TorBrowser uses a different default port, so you can run tor and TorBrowser on the same system without any problems.

If you want to use the SocksProxy of you TorBrowser with other browsers (multiple risks attached), you may just use 9150.

9051 tor and 9151 TBB will be the ControlPort
