Firefox as soon as it learns the env vars it will pass. Then Torbutton
should query the control port for bootstrap state when it starts up, and
either display an interim 'Tor is starting' page or let it go directly to
check.tp.o.

Hrmm.. Preventing any Firefox windows from launching probably will require
a patch to Firefox. But this is doable. Is this the only thing we can
parallelize?
