 When you open TorBrowser.app, for a split-second there are two Tor Browser
 icons visible in the dock. The first one disappears quickly, leaving just
 one.

 I suppose that the first icon that disappears belongs to the top-level
 TorBrowser.app; i.e., the one that starts the
 Contents/MacOS/TorBrowserBundle shell script. The second icon belongs to
 the inner Contents/MacOS/TorBrowser.app; i.e. Firefox.

 I tried adding
 {{{
 <key>LSUIElement</key>
 <true/>
 }}}
 to Contents/Info.plist, but it didn't prevent it first icon from appearing
 momentarily. Setting LSUIElement works when you do it in the inner
 Contents/MacOS/TorBrowser.app/Contents/Info.plist, so I'm not sure why it
 works here.

 This issue is completely separate from #11429. These two issues together
 means that there are actually ''three'' icons that are shown at different
 parts of startup when you configure meek.
