Well, given the way OP phrased his question, I just assumed he wanted to 
prevent any unwanted input to his system, which is why I gave him a simple 
ruleset which allows any output.

If you want to filter output as well but allow Tor Browser to work, I see two 
ways to accomplish that:

- Go with the seperate user method: Create a seperate user just to run Tor 
  Browser and allow output for just this user. You could launch Tor Browser as 
  this user using gksudo or kdesudo.

- Configure a bridge for Tor Browser to use and allow output to just this 
  bridge filtering by IP adress as well as port.
