Hi folks, I'm working on a transparent proxy app for Gnome and I'm trying to 
get a Torbrowser instance running that launches without Vidalia. It's currently 
using the TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1 and TOR_TRANSPROXY=1 flags, which works except that 
it then modifies some key settings in prefs.js which then don't get switched 
back afterwards, which means Torbrowser is broken used without the transparent 
proxy.

It's related to this ticket: 
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17615

I'm currently using a really hacky solution which is to backup the prefs.js 
file before loading the transparent-proxy-mode Torbrowser instance, then 
restore prefs.js when it exits. Does anyone have any better suggestions? I 
thought about making a separate profile, but not sure how to do it 
programatically.

It's here if anyone wants to have a look: https://github.com/dot-slash/torproxy

And if anyone wants to collaborate, that would be cool :)
