> We can focus on the Tor Launcher bug in this ticket: Tor Launcher should
handle the Open Document request, and pass it on to Tor Browser once it
finishes launching. If it doesn't handle the Open, macOS will try to open
it in the default browser instead.
This issue is not just with Firefox as the default browser. Try it with
Chrome as the default browser; it will open a Tor Browser instance if
there isn't already one running, but the file is opened in Chrome.
