Changes (by mcs):

 * status:  new => needs_information


Comment:

 There are some preferences available (modify them via about:config or by
 editing prefs.js within the browser profile while Tor Browser is not
 running):
  extensions.torlauncher.tor_path
  extensions.torlauncher.torrc_path
  extensions.torlauncher.tordatadir_path

 See https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-
 launcher.git/tree/src/defaults/preferences/prefs.js for all of the hiddem
 preferences (and comments that explain how they can be used).

 Do these preferences meet your needs? I would rather not add support for
 more environment variables due to the complexity that it will introduce.

 And please use a custom torrc if possible rather than modifying torrc-
 defaults.
