 Sometimes you launch apps on your phone and you didn't mean to  or you
 launch it and change your mind because you didn't want to use them right
 then so you switch apps to the one you wanted to use and don't think about
 it again, it's not that easy with tor browser on Android and it's kind of
 annoying.

 If you launch the Tor Browser on Android and don't hit the "connect"
 button you get a permanent notification that says ''"Orbot is starting"''
 and the only way to get rid of it is to connect to tor and then exit the
 whole thing via the Firefox menu.

 There should be a quick way to exit the app without connecting to tor and
 launching Firefox, that's it.

 I'm not that familiar with writing tickets on this site so I hope I didn't
 screw it up to much.
