Testing: TorBrowser-4.0-alpha-1-osx32_fr.dmg Platform: OS X 10.9.3
WebBrowsing works as expected - HTTP, HTTPS, .onion browsing works - HTML5 videos work - https://panopticlick.eff.org/ - unique among 491,159, 18.91 bits of identifying information
DuckDuckGo is default search engine. obfs3 ok. fte ok
I've manually killed `tor.real`, to see #11199 in action. Worked fine.
Are Tor log messages suppossed to be displayed in the web console (Ctrl+Alt+K)? I haven't been able to get any showing up there (but they are visible through the usual copy/paste).

Not on the web console (which is connected to one web page) but on the browser console (which is "global" to the entire browser). The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+J / Cmd+Shift+J.
