Comment:

 Here is the Tor Launcher solution:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 launcher.git/commit/?h=bug31607-01&id=6b3005ea605d3a01f9ece978ac6e805b10669b8e

 The risk with this patch is that it significantly changes the point in
 time when Tor Launcher opens its modal window and blocks the browser
 startup sequence, and it is difficult to analyze everything that happens
 between `profile-after-change` and `final-ui-startup`.

 Here is the "only one hidden window please" solution:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug31607-01&id=8024e654cd1c2bbcefc82bfd11099c9659abfc7b

 Please choose one :)
