I've looked at your site and I have a question.  I know I could probably find
the answer by fully reading the documentation on your site and on the Tor site,
but I just got up and don't feel like reading through reams of information to
get a simple answer.

Is the TorBrowser and actual web browser or is it a set of patches and
configuration requirements to use Firefox in a secure way with Tor?

I discovered, first hand, the difficulty of truly anonymizing Firefox and all
its kin when I used Tor before.  I'd rather use a browser that is specifically
built for security and anonymity than use a browser that was never made to
protect your privacy, if possible.
