`./start-tor-browser` will be moved to `Browser/start-tor-browser`. I know this,… because I looked into 4.5a5. Related changelog. Quote https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-45a5-released: > We're very excited about the usability and security improvements in this release. On the usability front, we've created a FreeDesktop-compatible launcher wrapper for Linux that can be invoked from either the GUI or the shell, and we also provide Windows users with the ability to add optional Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts.

Apply to #tb-starter in the same way.
