 The TBB for OSX encourages installation in /Application (by having a
 symlink in the DMG to the system application folder.)

 Instead the symlink should point to ~/Applications

 This will allow the app to be installed without admin privs, and also
 allow the user to write to the profile inside of the TBB directory, even
 if they are not admins.
