Comment(by keb):

 here is the irc log

 20110218 232413 : katmagic Are you using the Firefox that came with the
 browser bundle?
 20110218 232430 : nevernverman Yes
 20110218 232453 : nevernverman In the Extensions I see only SQLiteManager
 20110218 232524 : keb how did that Bundle get onto the usb key?
 20110218 232609 : nevernverman I dldd it onto the Mac. Copied the zip to
 the stick and expanded it.
 20110218 232611 : keb you might be running your own Firefox, not the one
 in the bundle
 20110218 232618 : nevernverman Possibly
 20110218 232712 : nevernverman but it is the one that shows in the
 Contents of the package
 20110218 232810 : keb try to quit all running instances before clicking
 the one in the Bundle
 20110218 233225 : keb
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en#MacOSX
 20110218 233248 : keb you are supposed to click "TorBrowser" application
 to start it all
 20110218 233326 : keb if your own firefox is already running, it might pop
 up its own window rather than launch the bundle firefox
 20110218 233439 : nevernverman OK. Quit all. Start Vidalia which starts
 Tor. Start Firefox. Same deal. I will delete my original Firefox app and
 retry
 20110218 233439 : nevernverman No, that made no difference
 20110218 233549 : keb no, start "TorBrowser" which automatically starts
 the whole sequence.  you should not have to click Firefox separately
 (unless the instructions are incorrect)
 20110218 233628 : keb (i dont have a mac to verify)
 20110218 233940 : nevernverman Aha
 20110218 233940 : nevernverman '''TorBrowserBundle appears as a unix
 executable as opposed to an app icon. If I doubleclick it, it will open
 the terminal.'''
 20110218 234129 : keb nevernverman ok.  that terminal may run a script
 20110218 234212 : keb we can suggest an update to the mac instructions
 once this works
 20110218 234738 : nevernverman No can do. It appears as an app icon but if
 I double click it, nothing happens except that I get the error in my
 console as follows:
 20110218 234738 : nevernverman 2/18/11 11:38:50 PM
 [0x0-0x52052].org.torproject.TorBrowserBundle[516]      The files
 /Volumes/NO and /Volumes/N
 O NAME/TorBrowser_en-US.app/NAME/TorBrowser_en-
 US.app/Contents/MacOS/Vidalia.app do not exist.
 20110218 234738 : nevernverman 2/18/11 11:38:50 PM
 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[115]
 ([0x0-0x52052].org.torproject.TorBrowserBundle[516])
  Exited with exit code: 1

 20110218 235043 : nevernverman OK thanks
