This is a cherry-pick of #26882 for v12.1.2. Original description:

## **Description**

Trezor signing and connecting was broken in a recent change that
included an update to the `@trezor/connect-web` library (in #26143). The
patch had to be rewritten as part of that update, but in this rewrite an
underscore was missed in referencing a variable (the patch used
`this.settings` rather than `this._settings`).

Additionally, two more changes have been applied to ensure the modified
settings are used everywhere. One was present in the original patch but
missing from the patch in #26143. The other was not present in the
original patch (#23763) because the affected line was added in the
library update, but it seems equally necessary.

it crashing by then).
