Public bug reported: Download https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/4.0.4/tor-browser- linux64-4.0.4_en-US.tar.xz and extract it to a folder.
Navigate to that folder in the GNOME file manager. Double click "start-tor-browser". Expected result: The script executes and launches the browser. Actual result: The script opens in gedit. Even when right clicking it, "Run" is not listed as an option anywhere. It's not even an option under "Open With... -> Other Application". The only way to run it is from a terminal.
