Hello,

I was trying to follow the instructions at https://trisquel.info/en/forum/set-tor-default-browser

however I cannot find directory
$HOME/.local/share/applications/

Why? Maybe that belonged to Trisquel 7?

I'd be very happy if someone could update that guide.

Thank you!!

Try registering the app.

Run this in the folder where your Tor Browser is located.

./start-tor-browser.desktop --register-app

It should create an entry (see attachment) under ~/.local/share/applications

Thank you loldier!

At least now I got something: Now, when I am on another program and click on an Internet URL, TorBrowser opens.

But that's all. It does not take me to the URL location. And, when I click again on another link, it shows me the attached window.

I think it's isolated and cross-linking is denied.

Ah, ok, you mean TorBrowser does not allow it.

Yeap, I found this:

What a pity.

Thank you anyway!
