 The .ini file needs to have "WaitForFirefox=true" set, since otherwise
 the launcher will exit immediately after starting Firefox. Currently
 we rely on detecting Firefox closing for when to shut down Tor.

+Building Firefox
+----------------
+
+I am currently using MSVC 7.1 (Visual Studio .NET 2003) to build Firefox. Visual
+Studio 2005 (and 2008) cannot build Firefox 2. This should be fixed with the
+eventual release of Firefox 3. MinGW32 is reported to work, but is not supported
+and has limitations. I was not able to get cross compiling working. There is
+discussion of building Firefox 2 with MSVC 8 at:
+ http://georgedexter.wordpress.com/2007/03/03/building-firefox-2002-on-windows/
