New description:

 User reported on RT #10687 that he would like to remove his Tor Browser
 from his Mac completely but still can't remove a certain trace of the Tor
 browser in Safari's "Develop" menu.

 To add the option to Safari's developer's menu I did the following:

 - Downloaded TorBrowser-2.3.25-8-osx-x86_64-en-US.zip and extracted
 TorBrowser_en-US inside the Downloads folder.
 - Used the Tor Browser a bit (amazon.com)
 - Open Safari and check the developer menu "Open Page with" inside that
 you should see (TorBrowser).


 To remove "Open Page with (TorBrowser)" from Safari's developer menu:

 - Delete the TBB package.
 - Shutdown/Restart the system, If you don't the menu will exist until the
 next restart/shutdown.

 Attached is a screen shot by the user.
