So you can either download tor-launcher, and extract it under browser/extensions, renaming the tor-launcher-$version directory to tor-launcher: https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/9.0.1/src-tor-launcher-0.2.20.2.tar.x... https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/9.0.1/src-tor-launcher-0.2.20.2.tar.x...
Or you can build without tor-launcher by adding "ac_add_options --disable-tor-launcher" to the .mozconfig.
What do you recommend? I'm unclear on what tor-launcher does.
tor-launcher is the part that is responsible for configuring and launching the tor daemon that is included with Tor Browser.
So I think it depends how you plan to use the browser. If you plan to use it with a system tor daemon (not started by the browser), then building without tor-launcher might be an option. However I don't know if that really works, or if we have things depending on tor-launcher being there. An other option would be to include tor-launcher but disable it by setting the TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH environment variable to 1.
