    Run Tor Launcher in an unconfined Firefox. · 8adcfc21
    Tails developers authored
    Running Tor Launcher with the same AppArmor profile as Tor Browser would force
    us to open that profile too broadly. E.g. it requires the ability to run
    dbus-daemon, to give an idea.
    
    Given:
    
     * Tor Launcher runs as a dedicated user
     * Tor Launcher runs very early, at a time when the user likely isn't doing
       anything sensitive to X keystrokes sniffing etc., and closes immediately
       after Tor is ready
     * Tor Launcher offers a very limited set of functionality
    
    => it seems safe enough to run it unconfined, at least for now.
