--- Comment #2 from Slawomir Wojciech Wojtczak <vermaden@interia.pl> ---
I have modified the ~/profiles.ini with '.tor-browser/' prefix for 'Path' so at
least Tor Browser profile is not in the ${HOME} directory directly:

    % cat profiles.ini 
    [Profile0]
    Name=default
    IsRelative=1
    Path=.tor-browser/f5o2xdjb.default
    Default=1

    [General]
    StartWithLastProfile=1
    Version=2

... but that does not solves the 'problem' of 'unwanted' ~/profiles.ini file.

IMHO it would be great to modify Tor Browser installation/default configuration
to at least use ~/.profiles.ini or ~/.tor-browser-profiles.ini instead.

If course the 'preffered' way would be to be compliant with XDG standarts and
use ~/.config/tor-browser but ~/.profiles.ini or ~/.tor-browser-profiles.ini
and profiles in ~/.tor-browser by default would be a good start.

Regards.
