Then, you can always compile the TorBrowser Bundle manually, see the
sources at: <https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git>

Torbutton in itself is not able to protect fingerprinting properly for a
while now, but this has gotten really worse due to some "security"
improvements in Firefox 16 and 10.0.8esr.

So, in any cases, you will need to apply patches for Fixefox if you want
any protection at all:
<https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/tree/refs/heads/maint-2.2:/src/current-patches/firefox>

Then you will be able to use Torbutton again, as it takes care of a few
high level stuff still.
