That's great Jerry. I've been using "Tor Browser Launcher" for some time. It's an application included from Ubuntu 14.10 to the latest that checks for updates from tor mirrors. Had to compile it, with like 50-60 MB of dependancy if I remember correctly.

It checks for updates when I tick that box to check on next launch and then launch tor from the menu.

Sorry about the theme, I'm testing some dark themes. :)

Cheers for this.
I've been getting really annoyed by all the companies tracking habits recently. Even my dad complained about it, which just goes to show how bad it's getting as he knows hardly anything about computing. Even he can tell when companies are starting to take the p*ss :(

Using flash and java in Tor defeats the purpose of using Tor I would think?

If I need java or flash in LL2. I Have Firefox or Vilvadi for that.
