Comment (by cypherpunks):
> And here is a patch for start-tor-browser
Thanks! It looks good.
> 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).
Browser is not started if I do just this:
`$ cd /path/to/tor-browser_en-US/Browser`
`$ TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1 ./start-tor-browser --debug`
To get it started I need at least one extra option:
`$ TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1 TOR_SKIP_CONTROLPORTTEST=1 ./start-tor-browser
--debug`
then disable tor-launcher add-on and fix proxy settings. However, even
after this fix tor-browser continues to send packets to 127.0.0.1:9151 at
each restart (option `TOR_SKIP_CONTROLPORTTEST` doesn't prevent it).
That's minor thing, but it adds garbage to logfiles of my firewall.
