Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:22 Jehanne]:
 > I used to do this; it was a way of keeping my relay up and running while
 using the Tor-modified version of Firefox, which I was lead to believe was
 superior to the standard Firefox build.  I simply copied a shortcut of the
 tbb-firefox.exe icon to my desktop.  I am not sure why this was such a
 "big deal" or why you needed disabled this ability.

 When you copied the shortcut and ran it yourself, you missed out on some
 of the modifications we made. For example, you missed out on the "keep
 this profile separate from the other Firefoxes you're running right now"
 feature. Bad news for you, especially if you didn't realize it worked that
 way.
