Given how I built Firefox, what is the proper way to start it? I'm
guessing that there isn't one, given what I have so far. The
instructions that I followed say to copy Firefox into an existing Tor
Browser folder. But of course, I don't have one of those in Raspbian
wheezy. If I did, I wouldn't be building from source.

I'm using this Pi with a Tor gateway Pi, so I don't need tor or
pluggable transports. But I do need the profile and extensions.

What are my options for creating a proper Tor Browser profile with the
requisite extensions (Torbutton, HTTPS-Everywhere, NoScript,etc)? Might
I just copy that from the Tor Browser 4.5a4 release for Debian/Ubuntu?
Otherwise, I suspect that I'd need to build the complete bundle from
<https://git.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-bundle.git>. Or is
there another solution?

Thank you. I will do that.
