Replying to [comment:7 Sebastian]:
> (Is there a way to start Firefox "disabled" until we can somehow signal
that tor is ready? I guess torbutton could poll for the bootstrap
percentage or something, since it has the control pwd now?)
Mike, can you speculate on this? It seems that Vidalia should launch
Firefox as soon as it learns the env vars it will pass. Then Torbutton
should query the control port for bootstrap state when it starts up, and
either display an interim 'Tor is starting' page or let it go directly to
check.tp.o.
Unless it's harder to wedge Torbutton into those parts of Firefox than we
hope?
