 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.
