Privacy. It's fundamental. And this browser has enabled and keeps enabling people to lookup things they don't want their ISP/ government or surveillance marketers to see.
And what's better they won't know a thing about what you searched.
What is visible to the outside world however is the fact: you make use of TOR and probably the TORBrowser this client / citizen of ours is using TOR to obfuscate his /her traffic (=~anonymize ).

Firefox is a great browser, and tor is built on it

You do not necessarily need an extra plugin.

Cons
Con Must adapt new browsing habits
It is not recommended to do several things TOR browser that users would want to do in a normal browser, such as visiting social networks and banking.

It does not support many modern features due security and is pretty slow.
Con Extremely slow
Caused by the tor network the browser depends on.
Con You will hang on every recaptcha
Con Not secure
Firefox isn't as secure as Chrome.
Con Tor is very outdated on Firefox code
It's not that it uses the same browser engine, just look at the logos.
Con Dependant on Mozilla
Since it uses gecko.
Con Did not install
Will also not delete either.
Con Does not guarantee perfect anonymity
Unlike what most users would suspect.
Con Using Tor on Android is still not great
Samsumg users will never use it.
Con Open Source
Anyone can hack the source code and insert malware.
Con Too many supporters
Tor has so many supporters such as brave, which makes it more popular. This is another thing how tor will be unsecure.
Con Outdated safari fork
Even a safari developer (@apple) doesn't recommend rocket because it can be behind in updates.
Con Backed by runecats.com
Rune cats is known for installing all add ons, including visitabs and a adblocker. Rune cats was known to make this which was supposed to be a better browser than safari.
Con OS X only
Con Limited add on support
They've got everything you will personally need built in, but a lack of addons could be an issue for some people.
