   Strange the shortcut points to firefox.exe instead of tor.exe, but that   
   must be their custom compile of Firefox, and somehow tor.exe gets called   
   by their Firefox variant for the core functions in tor.exe.  Seems ass   
   backwards on what to call first, so I can see getting confused on what   
   file to allow in a firewall rule.
