 `otool -hv` says that the firefox binary from Tor Browser on OSX is not
 PIE:
 {{{
 $ otool -hv firefox
 firefox:
 Mach header
       magic cputype cpusubtype  caps    filetype ncmds sizeofcmds
 flags

 NOUNDEFS DYLDLINK TWOLEVEL BINDS_TO_WEAK
 }}}

 While on the firefox binary from Mozilla, it says this:
 {{{
 $ otool -hv /Volumes/Firefox/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
 /Volumes/Firefox/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox:
 Mach header
       magic cputype cpusubtype  caps    filetype ncmds sizeofcmds
