I think he means start-tor-browser (shell script on my box, probably a
batch file on Windows).


If you were using this in a script, I suppose the use of
-no-remote would be the same as described.

I got it to work reliably under similar circumstances this way:

./App/Firefox/firefox -no-remote -profile ./Data/profile

In circumstances where multiple Firefox profiles are in use,
specifying the particular profile used with TBB seems to work more
reliably.
Yes, that's what I meant. (example from an old desktop icon):  
G:\Program Files\TBB 2.2.35-3\Tor Browser\Start Tor Browser.exe -no-remote
I think we're talking about same thing.  Unless you change the TBB 
profile location, each extracted version (or different instances of same 
version) uses the profile in that instance's program folder, unless you 
specify another - as you indicated.  If using the default profile in 
default location, don't have to specify the profile name (I'm sure most 
know that - just clarifying).

Try adding option -no-remote to Firefox, it should start new process instead of
connecting to an already running instance.

Heyya Ondrej! Thanks for the reply! Quick (possibly slightly stupid)
question - the -no-remote option, do I add that to the start-tor-browser
script? And if so, where?
Don't know about a script.  Normally, if you want to run more than one 
version of Firefox (or maybe Aurora), you add the - no-remote command 
after the Target box string (command path), that is found by R clicking 
the start icon  Properties.  As an example, for Firefox icon, you'd see 
something like:


D:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Mozilla\Firefox 9\firefox.exe

This is the path where the executable file is installed (or in Aurora's 
case, extracted [not installed] ).  NOTE:  the quote marks are necessary.


So adding the -no-remote command would result in something like:  
D:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Mozilla\Firefox 9\firefox.exe -no-remote
note:  in the example above, there is a space after ...firefox.exe and 
the -no-remote command.  Type it just as shown (substituting the path 
where the 2nd instance (version) of AURORA you want to run is located).  
IOW, put a space between the quote mark after firefox (aurora) and the 
1st hyphen, in front of -no-remote


If you were using this in a script, I suppose the use of -no-remote 
would be the same as described.

 I am using a transparent proxy (all connections are forced through Tor).

 The Tor Browser isn't just Firefox, it contains many security related
 patches, settings and addons. Therefore I can't just go ahead and install
 the addons myself into normal Firefox. [1]

 There is even a patch to prevent Tor Browser to be started, when not
 started from TBB Bundle (not started from Vidalia). [2] The build
 instructions how to build Tor Browser are incomplete. [3]

 How can I use Tor Browser without Tor and Vidalia?

I imagine that OS X and Windows bundles can be modified in a similar manner.
