I've added "--no-remote" to my non-tor Firefoxes on OSX and
Linuxes/FreeBSD to avoid the conflicts. Users call in with the same
problems too.

I hope it isn't intentional, it makes using tbb with normal
firefox a pain in the ass. You have to remember to start non-tor
firefox first, and then TBB. Order of starting shouldn't matter.
