    Orfox: receive Tor status in thread so they arrive when event sync blocks
    
    Run in thread so Tor status updates will be received while the Gecko event
    sync is blocking the main thread.  This might not be the best approach
    since it probably means that the main UI will be frozen waiting for Tor to
    reach ON status.
