#4192: Serious TBB Launcher bug

It is possible to directly launch Firefox. On Windows users who launch TBB
will have two icons in their taskbar/dock like thing - a Vidalia onion and
the Browser planet icon. Users who run TBB will "pin" the browser icon and
run _that_ directly.
We must prevent this - probably by ensuring that the browser will launch
the right things if a user attempts to do this.
