Comment (by toruser23):

 This has changed from a slight information leak to a more annoying problem
 in tbb 3.5. This now causes gvfsd-metadata to hold open file handles in
 the tbb directory itself:

 gvfsd-met 16712 user  mem    REG  254,0    32768 1320143 /media/usb/tor-
 browser_en-US/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/uuid-306b4a6d-65c2-4d17-8696
 -97cca175bf5d-ffd15c89.log

 These file handles persist after closing the browser and trying to eject
 the removal media causing errors on dismounting because a file is still
 held open by a process. I think this obviously needs to be fixed as it
 prevents tbb being "portable" in a sense.
