This should be fixed (for Linux) in an upcoming Tor Browser 4.0 release. I've
added these things to the `start-tor-browser` script. There are:
- Instructions for use, including additional Firefox preferences that
you'll need to set (to tell Tor Button where your ControlPort and
SocksPort are, etc.)
- An "easy" spot in the `start-tor-browser` script to put in your
ControlPort password so that it is given to the Firefox process (but not
exported, because then other programs might be able to steal it)
- A line will print to your terminal telling you that you're using a
system-installed Tor.
See #10178, [0] and this commit [1] containing the changes. If you're running
Linux and would like to test these, nightly builds are available. [2]
Contributions to improve this, i.e. automatically setting the preferences for
you, are welcome.
