Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:5 phobos]:
 > so countering my own concerns from last year, after handling many
 support questions, #1 is "what is aurora?". People frequently start tor
 browser, close aurora, start their normal browser, and assume it's safe.
 Some sort of branding or a simple rename of aurora to TorBrowser or
 something may make it better. Maybe a persona. Maybe the new tor check
 will help people understand what the browser is for.

 I also think fixing the name issue is important. I don't think a new
 check.tp.o page can fix it -- even once TBB has started, people don't
 realize that "Aurora" is the tab that their TBB is in, so they move to
 another window and then can't find their TBB anymore.

 What name do we want? I think naming it Firefox will mean users can't tell
 which window is the TBB window. Does that leave 'Tor Browser'?
