#14977: TBB with -allow-remote conflict with Firefox and leak opened pages to it
-------------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter:  cypherpunks  |          Owner:  tbb-team
     Type:  defect       |         Status:  new
 Priority:  normal       |      Milestone:
Component:  Tor Browser  |        Version:
 Keywords:               |  Actual Points:

-------------------------+--------------------------
 How to reproduce: install Firefox (not Iceweasel, binary from mozilla.org,
 or Ubuntu package), open it, then run TBB with -allow-remote
 'https://torproject.org'. It opens new tab in Firefox, when it should run
 Tor Browser.

 It causes major problems if you want to use torbrowser-launcher as your
 default browser, there is issue for it https://github.com/micahflee
 /torbrowser-launcher/issues/157

 Building Firefox --with-app-name=torbrowser and --with-app-
 basename=torbrowser fix that. It shouldn't cause any fingerprinting
 issues.
