Yes you can. I use that way for transparent torifycation in Linux,
manually restarting Browser and changing tor-circuits.
1. Unpack TBB 3.5.X in separate dir.
2. Delete tor-launcher:
~/TorBrowser/tor-browser_en-US/Data/Browser/profile.default/extensions/tor-launcher@...
3. Start Tor Browser, type about:config in address bar, enter.
4. Ignore warning "This might void your warranty!",
press the button "I'll be carefull, I promise!"
5. Enter in searchfield: torproject
6. Replace fields:
extensions.torbutton.test_url https://check.torproject.org/?TorButton=true
extensions.torbutton.test_url_interactive
https://check.torproject.org/?lang=__LANG__
extensions.torbutton.versioncheck_url
https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions
to
extensions.torbutton.test_url about:blank
extensions.torbutton.test_url_interactive
https://check.torproject.org/?lang=__LANG__
extensions.torbutton.versioncheck_url about:blank
Don't forget to check new versions manually!
7. Go to Tor button (green onion icon). Select preferences, check on:
"Transparent Torifycation (Requires Custom Transproxy or Torrouter)"
For using Tor Browser without tor you don't need any of this
transparent helping tools.
Hope that helps!
I believe, developers stay hold this feature to make Tor Browser independent
from inner tor
and to easy making transparent torifycation into system Tor-router.
