Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:2 arma]:
 > Priority number one, which I hope will get into the next release, is to
 make our Firefox, when run any way other than TBB-launches-Vidalia-
 launches-Firefox, fail closed.

 We could distinguish by looking for the env vars that we expect to hear
 from Vidalia, or by having Vidalia use a new command-line switch like
 --from-vidalia when launching Firefox, or whatever else approach Mike
 finds acceptable.
