Like for example using Tor Browser Downloader - you run it directly in the whonix-ws-xx template instead of whonix-ws-xx-dvm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Whonix: configure Torbrowser for use in DispVM
I used to make some minor preference changes in torbrowser in the dvm template ... but that no longer works. template: tpl-who-15-ws dvm-template: dvm-anon based on tpl-who-15-ws dom0# qvm-run -a dvm-anon xfce4-terminal dvm-anon# torbrowser ... here I make my changes: - remove all search engines except DuckDuckGoOnion - set security to 'safest' These changes survive in dvm-anon, but if I start a dispvm based on dvm-anon the slider is on standard and all the search engines are present. I think torbrowser is a whonix-specific script that somehow detects that it's running in a dispvm and then nukes the profile and replaces it with a default. Is that true? In that case, I would like to copy my profile from dvm-anon into the actual template to the path from where the script copies. I get that doing other changes to the preferences might harm. I want only the default search engine to change and the security to be 'safest' (no scripts at all) What's the best way to do this? /Sven -- public key: https://www.svensemmler.org/0x8F541FB6.asc fingerprint: D7CA F2DB 658D 89BC 08D6 A7AA DA6E 167B 8F54 1FB6 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
