Bug Description

Tor Browser is an anonymity, security and privacy oriented browser based on Mozilla Firefox from torproject.org. https://www.torproject.org/

Tor is the last serious anonymity network. Tor is the only option for non-criminals to speak freely and anonymously. All other networks are so weak, that researchers don't even talk about the others anymore. http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#2012

Tor Button + Mozilla Firefox is deprecated and recommend against. https://blog.torproject.org/blog/toggle-or-not-toggle-end-torbutton Configuring Mozilla Firefox to use Tor as socks proxy is even more deprecated and recommend against.(browser fingerprinting, https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/torbutton-faq.html.en#oldtorbutton

There is only Tor in Ubuntu repository.

Tor Browser is missing. Please package!

Downloading the bundle from torproject.org is bad. It happened that torproject.org was targeted using a compromised SSL certificate authority. 1. visit torproject.org 2. download 3. import gpg key 4. download signature 5. verify signature... Very bad. Please add to packages, apt-get install torbrowser is much better!
