 Replying to [comment:12 dcf]:
 > I tested it on linux64 but not any other platforms. I asked tor-qa for
 testing here:

 [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-qa/2015-March/000556.html
 Wilton] and [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 qa/2015-March/000559.html Mark] say it doesn't work on OS X, giving an
 error "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded." Mark suggests it's because
 there is no realpath on OS X.

 Here is the meek-browser-helper-mac.sh script:
 {{{
 # Mac OS X needs an absolute profile path.
 # https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673955
 exec "PluggableTransports/TorBrowser.app.meek-http-
 helper/Contents/MacOS/firefox" \
   -no-remote -profile "$(realpath "../Data/Browser/profile.meek-http-
 helper")"
 }}}
 Maybe it could use dirname like [https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders
 /tor-browser-bundle.git/tree/Bundle-Data/mac-tor.sh mac-tor.sh] does?
