 Using tor-browser-linux64-3.5_en-US.tar.xz

 While doing some tests and having disabled the Tor Launcher browser addon
 (so the Tor gateway doesn't actually get started with the browser) I
 noticed:

 about:tor

 still says

  "you're using Tor"

 even if the Tor gateway isn't running at all for whatever reason.

 If it's possible that about:tor gets fetched from browser cache, this page
 doesn't prove anything
