start-tor-browser script reads:

Now that Vidalia is removed from the bundle, passing command line
parameters from start-tor-browser to Firefox seems straightforward.
This could be very convenient for launching TBB with a specific URL to run
tests or experiments. See also comment by Roger:

script-that-opens-an-url-in-torbrowser-from-the-bu#comment98_92
Applying the attached minimal patch, all command line arguments (except
TBB's own --debug) were successfully passed to Firefox binary.
Some commands that worked for me were as follows (Ubuntu 12.04 & TBB
v3.5):
* ./start-tor-browser torproject.org[[BR]]''open
torproject.org''[[BR]][[BR]]
* ./start-tor-browser !about:tor torproject.org[[BR]]''open !about:tor
and torproject.org (will open 2 tabs)''[[BR]][[BR]]
* ./start-tor-browser -search Tor[[BR]]''search for the word "Tor" using
TBB's default search engine (startpage)''[[BR]][[BR]]
* ./start-tor-browser --debug torproject.org[[BR]]''run TBB in debug mode
and open torproject.org''
Still, no serious thoughts were given about the issues this may bring.
