Comment (by dcf):
Some observations from [[org/meetings/2015UXsprint]]:
Everyone was frustrated by the Gatekeeper dialog. However, users were
surprisingly adept at disabling Gatekeeper (sometimes system-wide) in
order to get Tor Browser to run. Most users seemed to have seen the dialog
before and vaguely known what to do. There is also a "?" button on the
dialog that gets you to the right preferences window.
Nobody (''N''=5) used the Ctrl-click technique. They all either disabled
Gatekeeper completely, or used the button on the same preferences window
(maybe new in OS X 10.10) that said something like "Tor Browser failed to
start because it is from an unidentified developer, allow anyway?"
If you "allow anyway," the setting gets remembered somewhere that's not
surfaced in the GUI anywhere I could find. In order to disable it, and
cause Gatekeeper again to reject opening the app (even the same file
downloaded fresh), I had to run the command
{{{
spctl --disable /path/to/Tor\ Browser.app
}}}
