About Flatpak Tor Browser Error

Post by jumaru »

I installed Tor browser from Flatpak. But when i click on it to open, it says this:

"Error starting download:
https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/ ... gcc3/x/ALL
Trying to download over Tor. Are you sure Tor is configured correctly and running?"

Any solution?

Hi,

I suppose you have installed Tor with flatpak app "Tor Browser Launcher". This app is supposed to help install Tor Browser...

Uninstall the flatpak "Tor Browser Launcher" app, and uninstall / remove Tor Browser as it has been installed by the flatpak (NB: Tor Browser is not a flatpak app).

Download Tor Browser from here: https://www.torproject.org/download/

Follow the installation instructions as found in Tor Browser online manual: https://tb-manual.torproject.org/installation/

Regards,

MN
