It appears the nice firewall prompt has been removed in TBB 4.0. For
those of us who block all but a couple outgoing ports (and all the
incoming), is the only way to retain this functionality to edit the
"torrc" file with something like below for every new download?

ReachableAddresses accept *:80
ReachableAddresses accept *:443

Compared to the menu item, this seems rather inconvenient for linux
users who (quite surprisingly) don't have any well-developed means
to block outgoing traffic on a per-application basis, and resort to the
less effective, though slightly more cautious practice of just opening a
couple outgoing ports?
