Comment(by mikeperry):
Ok, well option 2 is rather sad. The event delivery at startup makes it
appear as a lone window before the Firefox window is opened, at least on
Linux. It has a title of "Important Torbutton Information", and here is
its text:
{{{
Important Torbutton Information!
Torbutton is now always enabled.
Click on the Torbutton for more information.
}}}
Here is the new text for the warning when you click the button:
{{{
Torbutton works differently now: you can't turn it off any more.
We made this change because it isn't safe to use Torbutton in a browser
that's also used for non-Tor browsing. There were too many bugs there
that we couldn't fix any other way.
If you want to keep using Firefox normally, you should uninstall Torbutton
and download Tor Browser. The privacy properties of Tor Browser are also
superior to those of normal Firefox, even when Firefox is used with
Torbutton.
To remove Torbutton, go to Tools->Addons->Extensions and then click the
Remove button next to Torbutton.
[ ] Do not show this message again
[ OK ]
