package: torbrowser-launcher

Hi,

it should be possible to use torbrowser as /usr/bin/sensible-browser and
to open URLs from the command line with it.

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14977 is the upstream
ticket for this feature, which seems to work again. (Not sure.)

The corresponding feature for this in torbrowsr-launcher has been
removed when upstream had disabled the feature, maybe it can be brought
back.

Basically I want to run "torbrowser --new-window https://example.com".
(--new-tab would also be nice.)

Filing this bug so we can track the status of this, probably the
implementation in the torbrowser-launcher package will be a few lines in
a README.Debian.

Hey,

you can use torbrowser-launcher as sensible-browser, if you start torbrowser
every time with --allow-remote. See [15185] that is the upstream bug.

so first console:
~/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_{LANG}/Browser/start-tor-
browser  --allow-remote https://check.torproject.org/
second console open a new tab:
~/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_{LANG}/Browser/start-tor-
browser --allow-remote https://check.torproject.org/

even --new-window, --new-tab and --detach works like you expected them.

I think adding "--allow-remote" to start TBB is NOT a solution.
From the information from upstream ticket [15185]:

====
Unlike Firefox, Tor Browser defaults to --no-remote. So for that to
work you need to have started it with --allow-remote.
I believe the reason for disabling this by default is making
foot-shooting harder for users. So keep that in mind.
(BTW, never try to run the firefox binary directly, unless you know
well what you're doing.)
====

so default "--no-remote" is set for good reason.
it makes less footprint on the host TBB is running.
so I prefer to set this ticket as wontfix until we find a better way.

Cheers,
