Description
It is necessary to have an option to add `HTTPSPROXY` and `SOCKS5PROXY` to the `torrc` file before launching Bisq 2 for the first time. Currently, starting Bisq 2 is impossible because the process gets stuck and displays the message: "An error occurred while initializing Bisq: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException."
Additionally, Bisq 2 appears to lack the option to add Tor bridges, a feature that was available in Bisq 1. This omission makes it difficult for users who rely on Tor bridges for connectivity to use Bisq 2 effectively.

Research direction
Start by tracing Bisq 2's first-launch Tor initialization and compare its proxy and bridge configuration with the Bisq 1 behavior mentioned in the issue. Verify how HTTPSPROXY, SOCKS5PROXY, and Tor bridges would be supplied before startup, then reproduce the initialization TimeoutException. Done means Bisq 2 can configure these settings before its first launch and initialize successfully.
