RE: TBB v2.3.25-4 on Windows 7
I just configured Vidalia to use the Tor within TBB dir as
C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\Tor Browser\App\tor.exe, but when I start TBB
Firefox can't connect to Internet. Then I tried the default .\tor.exe
(which is the same exact location as C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\Tor
Browser\App\tor.exe) and TBB can access Internet no problem.
So, it seems like there are some bugs with using a Tor located anywhere
other than .\tor.exe, *and* using C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\Tor
Browser\App\tor.exe instead of .\tor.exe prevents Firefox from getting
online.
This ticket is related to #8367
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8376
I made this ticket major priority because as is I can no longer use Tor
alpha with TBB. The Tor team doesn't build alpha versions of TBB for
Windows users, unlike they do for their more favorite OSes :( So, if this
isn't fixed it appears Windows users are placed further back into the
closest, being we can't even use (nor test for bugs with TBB) a Tor alpha
build.
Please fix this, and please don't take many months to do so. I understand
you're all overworked, and you all are doing you best, however, it does
seem Windows problems are normally lower priority than problems with other
OSes.
