 Run TorBrowser completely independent from local Tor versions.

 If a local Tor version is running a user that launches TorBrowser is
 prompted for a password.

 By default a local install is protected by a password that is set
 automatically; in other words it's unknown. Another reason could be that
 the local Tor is not configured for being used as client. (Relay only)

 It's useful for systems that can't use a local Firefox installation with
 TorButton. This is more user-friendly, too.
