 When I run the current TBB (tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-1.0.17-dev-en-
 US.tar.gz) on Ubuntu Maverick, I am unable to launch a non-Tor Browser
 Firefox window.

 The command Ubuntu uses by default is "firefox %u" and it opens a new TBB
 window. If I launch Firefox first and then TBB, I'm able to use both at
 once. It should work properly in either case, order of launch should not
 matter.

 This breaks my normal browsing and I am not able to use both at once
 without effort. This is a blocker for normal day to day use.
