#27604: Relocating the Tor Browser directory is broken with Tor Browser 8 on Linux -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: gk | Owner: tbb- | team Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: tbb-8.0-issues, tbb-regression, | Actual Points: tbb-8.0.1-can | Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: -------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Comment (by mcs): Kathy and I cannot reproduce the crash, but any action that causes the browser profile to be renamed or moved breaks things. The specific problem which we observed on both macOS and Linux is that Torbutton and Tor Launcher are not loaded after a rename or move. A workaround is to delete the `extensions.json` file, which contains full paths. Probably that file is supposed to be recreated automatically when the profile is moved. Webextensions do not seem to suffer the same fate even though extensions.json contains their paths as well (which are outdated after the profile move). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/27604#comment:2> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
