Comment:

 This is a known issue for which we do not have a fix. In additiom to a
 browser window that contains the file for which you chose "Open With Tor
 Browser", the "The "Tor Network Settings" wizard should open when the
 browser starts. Unfortunately, currently we do not  have a way to block
 opening of the local file while the setup wizard is open. The good news is
 that no network access should be possible because the browser is
 configured by default to proxy everything through tor, and network access
 is disabled in tor until after the initial configuration is completed.

 My inclination is to close this as "won't fix" unless something bad is
 happening from a security or privacy perspective.
