Comment(by tmpname0901):

 Note to interested readers: with contemporary versions of TBB (e.g.
 2.3.25-8) Firefox is not actually run after the initial build, so there is
 no profiling info to provide benefit for the second linking.

 I suspect this due to improved Tor security, that Firefox won't run if
 TorButton isn't running or some such thing.  Or maybe some setting that
 forces use of a local proxy, which prevents access to the Python webserver
 used to generate the profiling data.  Requires more investigation.

 Anyway, the file attached earlier does still do profiled builds of
 Firefox, but currently provides no benefit to the end user.
