#2943: Vidalia will launch Firefox a second time when Tor sends
CIRCUIT_ESTABLISHED

Migrated from old trac ticket #467:
"When Tor detects that the clock has jumped, it will destroy existing
circuits and create new ones (or/circuitbuild.c:737).
Once Tor has created new circuits, it will trigger the same events as
would happen if Tor had established its first circuit, including sending
the CIRCUIT_ESTABLISHED control event and BOOTSTRAP_STATUS_DONE bootstrap
event (or/circuitbuild.c:682)
Vidalia/Tor? Browser Bundle uses CIRCUIT_ESTABLISHED to launch Firefox and
Pidgin. So when this scenario occurs, there will the two instances
running. This would be confusing to users.
This is not considered a Tor bug, so should be fixed in Vidalia.
