Comment (by mcs):

 In light of the recent "relay early" attack, some users will really want a
 way to monitor the tor log in real time.  We just committed a stopgap
 change that additionally routes all of the tor messages received by Tor
 Launcher to Firefox's Browser Console (I will attach a screenshot to show
 what the output looks like).

 Commit:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-
 launcher.git/commit/423552fe7009ebe8bd61f92ca525018c124a1b56

 Advantages:
 - Much more convenient than "Copy to Clipboard" for real-time monitoring.
 - Can apply a filter.
 - Can copy individual messages.

 Disadvantages:
 - Tor messages are mixed in with other messages and not categorized
 nicely.
 - Cannot open the Browser Console during browser startup.

 If other people like this stopgap solution, it should be merged into
 maint-0.2.5 for TB 3.6.4 (assuming that train has not already left the
 station).
