Comment(by mikeperry):

 tmpname0901: The check is based on profile contents, not on env var. Your
 setup should still work. However, you probably want to set the
 TOR_CONTROL_PORT and TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD environment variables to point at
 your relay. That will give you the ability to run New Identity. I think
 you might even be able to set them to junk, if you just want the browser
 to clear state.
