 > Additionally, there is an extra `bug10178_bug11751-log-to-file-and-
 disown` branch based on that last branch (because I'm not sure if
 mikeperry would want this patch, but it's what I personally run in my
 `start-tor-browser` script). It has [https://github.com/isislovecruft/tor-
 browser-bundle/compare/bug10178_bug11751...bug10178_bug11751-log-to-file-
 and-disown one more commit] which makes makes Tor Browser log to a file,
 and then it `disown`s the Firefox process from the shell and exits the
 script. This prevents the output from ending up in unpredictable places
 (it often includes full URIs logged from HTTPSEverywhere), and it also
 prevents having a shell remain open during the browser session which is
 just spewing debugging crap all over the place.

 I made sure that start-tor-browser wouldn't spew its stdout or stderr into
 random files (unless someone passes the `--debug` option on the command
 line).  See the first 150 lines.

 > Both commits have rather verbose commit messages, explaining the bash
 syntax and reasoning behind it.

 It's a /bin/sh script, not a bash script.  Don't put bashisms into it.
