[SOLVED] Programmatically launching the Tor browser with an URL address in Tails operating system.

What would be the equivalent of this Debian terminal command

Code:

firefox https://www.linuxquestions.org

in Tails 4.14?

On my system (not Tails) it goes like this:

Code:

cd "$HOME/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US/"
./start-tor-browser.desktop "$URL"

an64,
ondoho,
thank you for your pointers. I was able to find the name and location of the executable under Tails. Here is the code:

Code:

cd /usr/local/bin/
./tor-browser https://www.linuxquestions.org

Is /usr/local/bin not in your PATH?

Code:

echo $PATH

please.
