Replying to [ticket:12763 micahlee]:
> How come firefox is run with -no-remote? I assume there's a reason
behind it. Is it useful for privacy/anonymity/data minimization? Would it
be bad to patch start-tor-browser to remove -no-remote?
I'm unaware of it being useful for anything else, other than to run
TorBrowser and Firefox (vanilla) at the same time. Without {{{no-remote}}}
it is not possible. I'm unaware of other ways to achieve this.
(Using {{{no-remote}}} for Firefox Portable, while running Firefox to
compare them at the same time on Windows)
(I use Firefox and if I use TorBrowser, mainly for testing or comparison,
I expect it to be possible to have both open at the same time. As far as I
can tell it is a convenience feature.)
