 starting Tor Browser's `firefox` process from the command shell. For
 example, if you have placed Tor Browser in a folder on your desktop named
 TB, you would type the following command to start the browser (and then
 look at what messages are output): `~/Desktop/TB/Tor\
 Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox`

 Good to hear! What was the problem? `tor` still running in the background?
