Oh, and for the record, you proabably want to build with the patches up
to aa57efd7c1807b334a456d0a8e89bdc160eeb296 of tor-browser-24.1.1esr-1
in tor-browser.git (to pick up the commit that disables the mixed
content blocker in Firefox, which enables considerably more
HTTPS-Everywhere rules).

Note that that branch still has not been rebased on top of FF24.2.0 yet.
I will be making a new branch for that this weekend (which will also
squash those fixup commits).
