Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:29 dcf]:
 > I avoided ending the file name with ".app" to reduce the likelihood that
 a curious user would launch the internal bundle by double-clicking. The
 internal bundle is necessarily configured to bypass the Tor proxy, so it's
 dangerous if it's confused with the actual Tor Browser. The naming trick
 worked when it was under TorBrowser/Data (the app appeared as a normal
 folder), but for some reason it doesn't work under
 TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports :/ When you double-click the icon,
 first you get a dialog offering to import your bookmarks, then you get a
 browser window with the normal Firefox branding. You can't type into it,
 nor does it appear in the dock, probably because of the LSBackgroundOnly
 setting.

 Almost certainly the app copy does not know where to find its browser
 profile.  I think you have a reasonable point about not wanting users to
 be tempted to open the app, so not ending in .app makes sense.
