 The page
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBrowser/Hacking#WaystoBuildTorBrowser
 for building just the browser has a couple of problems.

 The first is that the origin/Master branch doesn't build using those
 instructions.  The 'mach configure' line's first option throws an error.
 Remove that option and you get ValueError in
 build/moz.configure/init.configure split-triplet.

 I went to branch tor-browser-68.5.0esr-9.5-1 and these went away.  The
 page should point people to either 'oldest branch that builds' or just say
 use the latest if you're going to hack.

 With this version, the steps are good except it misses one.  It says that
 tor-launcher needs to be in browser/extensions.  It doesn't say that
 torbutton needs to be in toolkit/torproject.

 I know they are small, but they might save someone else some time.
