    Bug 11641: change TBB directory structure to be more like Firefox's
    
    Unless the -osint command line flag is used, the browser now defaults
    to the equivalent of -no-remote.  There is a new -allow-remote flag that
    may be used to restore the original (Firefox-like) default behavior.
