I don't really understand why add extra complications and not directly
use the Tor Browser Bundle. Why is preventing you from using the bundled
Tor instance?
You can use tor-arm with the Tor Browser Bundle. Just issue
`arm -i 9151` on a command-line.

You should be able to set the environment variable `TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1`,
like:
TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1 ./start-tor-browser

Removing or adding add-ons from the Tor Browser might give to your own
browser a specific fingerprint.

Why would it be a problem?

Running two instances of the tor daemon on one system will not create a
Tor over Tor situation. There's just two distinct tor daemons. One
acting as an âOnion Proxyâ, the other as an âOnion Routerâ.
