TorBrowser integration in a desktop enviroment
I use TBB 3.5 as my default browser. The browsing experience over Tor network is for me almost the same as with normal FF. What I am missing as a user is the integration into my desktop environment.
If have set TBB in my desktop as the default browser application. When I read a email with a link in it (or when I click in any other application on a link), I want that the URL opens with TBB by default. Because the TBB start script does not pass parameters to the FF instance at the moment, clicking on a link in an email just opens a blank TBB.
There is a bug #10472 (closed) filed that provides a patch for passing parameters to TBB. But it only works if no TBB instance is running. If I have a TBB already open I get the message:
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
