Everything works OK before
tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.2.33-3-dev-en-US.tar.gz
in Debian stable

Now I can't use Tor-browser directly that way described above:

>WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXCreatePixmap" when GLX 1.3 is

start-tor-browser script from TBB itself works correct 
but using tor tunneling from system tor-daemon with Linux 
transparent firewalling torifycation double increased tor overhead.

Using Tor with users permissions instead of debian-tor daemon
 is not a best way for secure integration with a system too.

Is it version developed especially for enforcing use TBB as is?
