Other than just playing / testing, if going to use Tor *network* anyway, 
what might be the advantage of using vanilla Firefox w/ the JonDo 
profile (extension) rather than Torbrowser?  Just asking.

Seems Torbrowser w/ Torbutton & all other customizations to Fx, it is 
modified to be more anonymous & safer than even Firefox using the JonDo 
extension.
