Comment(by proper):

 I am still not sure if the new way, the download script, is the better way
 to do. Trying to grasp the major cons of the "real package solutions". I
 am sure the profile error can be fixed.

 Commenting on https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser/blob/master
 /torbrowser-bin

 Things like mv $DATA_DIR/Tor/torrc $DATA_DIR/Tor/torrc.bak might not be
 required.

 If the start-tor-browser gets patched, a standalone Tor Browser version
 can be made of the script. See
 https://github.com/adrelanos/Whonix/blob/untested_adre/whonix_workstation/usr/local/share/whonix
 /start-tor-browser for the patched version. It also doesn't have the
 profile error.
