 10.11.6

 > The problem with including TorBrowser.app inside the "Sandboxed Tor
 Browser" folder is that we would need to include a complete copy, which
 would double the size of the dmg files (without an installer that runs
 some code, I don't know of a way to avoid that).

 Got it -- makes sense.

 > We could change the "Follow these steps" portion README text to be
 clearer. Here is an attempt at new text:
 > {{{
 > Follow these steps to use the sandbox profiles:
 >
 > 1. Copy this folder ("Sandboxed Tor Browser") to a local drive, but do
 not put it in /Applications.
 > 2. Copy the TorBrowser app into your "Sandboxed Tor Browser" folder.
 > 3. Open Terminal.
 > 4. Run start-tor-with-sandbox and wait for Tor bootstrapping to finish.
 > 5. Run start-browser-with-sandbox.
 > }}}
 >
 > Is this better?

 Yes, thanks!
