 I find that opening the Mac Tor Browser Bundle does not always open
 Firefox, often only Vidalia is opened. I have to completely close Vidalia
 and re-open it to get a useable Tor Browser.

 This seems random. Any time i close/re-open it, I can not predict rather
 the browser will open or not. Sometimes I have to close and re-open it 3
 or more times for the browser to show.

 This happens even when no other programs are running.

 I have also independently confirmed this bug through a friend. I am sure
 it is not a problem specific to my system.

 This has been a problem since the first Mac release, but I have neglected
 to file a bug until now. Apologies if this is a known issue, I could not
 find a bug that matched this through my searches.

 I am using:
 OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.4 w/ all current updates
 Macbook Pro 2010
 Tor Browser Bundle for Mac version 1.0.4 en-US (affects ALL prior versions
 of the Mac bundle)
