[Discuss] Trying to install Tor on Fedora

[abreauj at gmail.com (John Abreau)]

The "start-tor-browser" script you need to run is inside the "Browser"
folder. If you double-click it, it opens a dialog box asking if you want to
Run in Terminal, Display, Cancel, or Run.

Click ":Run", and after a few seconds, the Tor browser window will open.
