There seems to be some amount of misunderstanding here. As suggested
earlier privately, you really want to read the beginning of this
thread.

TL;DR: the standalone XUL application idea (whose difficulty has not
been asserted) was superseded by the "exit the browser right after the
Tor Lancher config screens, if a given envvar is set" one, since it
seemed way easier, and good enough for us.

Cheers,
