Hello everybody.
I installed Trisquel Mini 7.0 32-bit and I use Midori as default browser, but I would use Icecat browser too because it has the Tor button pre-installed. I have downloaded Icecat but there is not Tor. I did update and upgrade on terminal but the version still remain the same. Any suggestion? Thanks.

Install IceCat with the package manager (always install software with the package manager unless you have a good reason not to do so). You can launch "Synaptic", one of its graphical interface, search for the "icecat" package, and install it in three clicks.

IceCat's "private window" (that you can open from the menu or with Ctrl+Shift+P) has its traffic going through Tor.

If you want to use Tor, just download the Tor Browser Bundle. It is simpler (since it already has it's own tor session running) and is more secure (the new security slider gives you more control without harming anonymity).
