For example, if you decompress tor-browser-versn#_en-US.exe or zip file using decompressing software like, 7-zip, in a folder named "TBB_versn#" (inside C:\PortableApps\ folder) then inside that "TBB_versn#" folder you should see, one sub-folder, named: Tor Browser Then if you go inside that "Tor Browser" folder, you will see these below sub-folders: FirefoxPortable Docs Data App - - - - - - Create a new folder-structure like this: C:\PortableApps\TBB_02\Tor Browser\ - - - - - - Then copy that "FirefoxPortable" from C:\PortableApps\TBB_versn#\Tor Browser\ folder, into above new folder-structure. - - - - - - Obtain last stable release of "Firefox Portable" from the portableapps.com site, and install inside "C:\PortableApps\" folder. Copy the "FirefoxPortable.exe" file from "C:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\" into below folder location: C:\PortableApps\TBB_02\Tor Browser\FirefoxPortable\ Create a shortcut-link of below .exe file on your windows Desktop: C:\PortableApps\TBB_02\Tor Browser\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe Rename the shortcut in your desktop, into "Firefox_TBB_02", or "Firefox TBB 02", so its easier to understand what it is. - - - - - - Open the below file for editing: C:\PortableApps\TBB_02\Tor Browser\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.ini find and change the below line, from: FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe into this: FirefoxExecutable=tbb-firefox.exe - - - - - - So then, if you run the shortcut-link on your Desktop, then you can START the FIREFOX, that you copied from last TBB. - - - - - - Another optional way (means, you do not have to do these steps, unless you want to test this process out) to start the Firefox from TBB_02 is to do these: Create a TXT file inside below folder location: C:\PortableApps\TBB_02\Tor Browser\ then rename it to : Start_TBB_Firefox.cmd then open Start_TBB_Firefox.cmd it for edit, and add below one command-line: @"C:\PortableApps\TBB_02\Tor Browser\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\tbb-firefox.exe" /D"C:\PortableApps\TBB_02\Tor Browser\FirefoxPortable\" -profile "C:\PortableApps\TBB_02\Tor Browser\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile" -no-remote so then, that batch script file "Start_TBB_Firefox.cmd" can also be used to start TBB firefox. - - - - - - After you start Firefox any of the above way, you will have to make sure, the network-settings are properly set or not. If you are using default TBB, (and current default TBB uses port 9150 as socks5 port), so that is/port what should be shown inside Network Settings, and inside Torbutton, if not, use custom settings and force it to use 127.0.0.1:9150 and socks5 proxy. And if you have firewall/security software, then make sure tbb-firefox.exe which is inside TBB_02 folder, can only connect outbound with port 9150, (and also allow tbb-firefox.exe to connect with any local port of local loopback address (127.0.0.1) only). tbb-firefox should not be allowed to connect with any internet server or with any dns-server, (neither locally or which is in internet). - - - - - - Using TBB-Firefox copied out of last+latest TBB bundle is better, than using "Portable Firefox" or full "Firefox", as it is already pre-configured with many anonymity related tweaks. But make sure TBB-firefox's various internal and extension settings are really set onto protect your Anonymity and Privacy, first, ... rather than comfortableness or ease-of-use. Anonymity and Privacy is more important than any other advantages. or else go use something else. -- Bright Star. Received from Gerardo, on 2013-08-14 12:25 AM: > I didn't understand...
