Comment:
We investigated this a bit more. I'm not sure why it used to work, but
relocating the profile is not a configuration that we can support at this
time. That said, I was able to get a configuration similar to yours to
work by copying the directory Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor to the alternate
location (in addition to copying profile.default). In my case I copied it
to D:\tordata\
Then I had to add the following preference string values using
about:config:
{{{
extensions.torlauncher.tordatadir_path=d:\\tordata
extensions.torlauncher.torrc_path=d:\\tordata\torrc
extensions.torlauncher.torrc-defaults_path=d:\\tordata\torrc-defaults
}}}
The reason this is difficult for us to support is because our automatic
update mechanism as well as other browser code assumes that all of the
user data is embedded within the application area. See #18367 for a ticket
that, if fixed, would move us closer to being able to support the
configuration you want to use.
