 I upgraded from tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.2.35-4-dev-en-US.tar.gz to
 tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.2.35-9-dev-en-US.tar.gz and two weird
 things happened. The first is that launching TBB caused a firefox
 compatibility window to appear. It checked my extensions and plugins for
 compatibility, an odd thing as I did not upgrade in place. I straight up
 removed my old tbb directory, why did it know about the state of my
 previous tbb plugins and extensions?!

 Secondly, for the first time ever, the browser is called "Firefox Web
 Browser" rather than the usual "Aurora" that I find confusing. Did this
 thing finally get a branding or did something go horribly wrong? On
 Ubuntu, I have 11.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1 - which is similar what my
 Firefox reports (11.0) in the about box.

 Did TBB launch my system Firefox?
