Replying to [ticket:21326 cypherpunks]:
> Somebody should check new configuration and these my suggestions.
Thanks. I think what you suggested is correct. I will post a patch in a
few minutes.
> If somebody is managing TBB with system-installed Tor without TBB access
to `ControlPort` (Tor chains must be restarted manually when needed), now
the configuration is pretty simple:
> 1. Remove `tor-launcher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx` file.
> 2. Start TBB: `$ cd tor-browser_en-US/Browser ; ./start-tor-browser
--debug`
> 3. Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network. Change host and
port for SOCKS proxy (if needed).
> 4. Disable automatic updates in Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced ->
Updates (if you check PGP signatures and update TBB manually).
I recommend that you not remove Tor Launcher; just disable it in the Add-
ons Manager or add TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1 to the environment before starting
Tor Browser (that way incremental automatic updates can be used if
desired).
