 @boklm Thanks for the instructions. Tor core runs fine but I don't know
 exactly how to execute these so called environment variables. Is it
 something in the torrc file?

 My idea was to run the latest Tor core along with TBB 7.5.6. For this I
 need to somehow launch TBB without its outdated core, and also make it use
 the latest core from the expert bundle. I believe the second step works by
 changing TBB's port from 9150 to 9050. Am I heading in the right
 direction?
