Comment (by mcs):
It is safer to include -no-remote so that when someone starts Tor Browser
they do not get a new Firefox window instead. I am not sure, but the
--class "Tor Browser" argument may fix that problem too.
Regardless, for TB 4.0a1, we have removed -no-remote and patched Firefox
so that -no-remote is the default behavior. The good news is that we also
added support for a new -allow-remote option that overrides -no-remote and
enables remoting, so with TB 4.x you should be able to get the behavior
you want. See:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-
bundle.git/blob/HEAD:/RelativeLink/RelativeLink.sh
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-
browser.git/commit/e9b44888df375ca2cf73e03eb580ca84516272e5
Be careful not to make it easy for people to get a Firefox or Iceweasel
window when they think they are starting Tor Browser though.
