 If Tor browser installed on a usb drive / stick, it only starts correctly
 only when drive name stays same across different computers. Otherwise
 firefox starts, but without connecting to tor network and refuses
 connection attemps.

 Possible reason:

 Hardcoded links (for example "F:/Tor Browser/.../tor-extension.xpi") in
 extension.json file and possibly in other files.
