Firefox now and having that one open and starting the Tor Browser with
`--allow-remote foo.com` opens `foo.com` in Tor Browser.
I suspect the addition of {{{--class "Tor Browser"}}} to the commands in
the Linux start-tor-browser fixed this. But see #17891.
> On OS X, I'm not able to reproduce the original problem of pages opening
in another Firefox. However, I can't get pages to open in an existing Tor
Browser even with `--allow-remote` - there is always an error about
another instance of Tor Browser running. Is that a separate bug?
Maybe. But I get that same error with the Firefox 45.0.1 when I just run a
command like:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox https://google.com/
I am not sure, but I don't think this has ever worked on Mac OS X. See
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238992 for a similar question
(the answer: "use Apple Events")
