Glad you got it fixed, but please don't say things like that.
Which do you think is more likely:
  • you, a Linux newbie, somehow messed up unknowingly, or simply misunderstood something
  • the over 3 years maintainer of a package with probably tens of thousands installations messed up in a way that shows only on your computer, or worse, said package (possibly the whole AUR) was taken over by the NSA, and you are the only one who noticed
???

My Dear Ondoho:

Tanks for the reply. It is more than likely the later; however, at the expense at
having a chuckle or two, you should be aware that I like many others, use more than
a single OS. In my case, I have three with OS 7 and Mint 20 both having a functional
Tor-Tor Browser.

That being the case, I can only assume, that Manjaro 20 has a system issue with this
browser. I even tried the fixes prescribed in the previous post and none of them provided a fix.

The Man-in-the-Middle and Back-Door guys, are no friends of anything anonymous.

To buttress my argument, I provide the following documentation.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, Ondoho!

That is quite a mouthful from someone who clearly has problems grasping simple rules of arch based system maintenance.

But be that as it may.

If you make strong claims like "There must be an installation issue from the AUR or it has been hacked by the NSA" you MUST back those claims. First step would be to share a link to the package page, point out the informed comments you made there, and how others reacted to it.

A serious issue but a) not news and b) has nothing to do with the files and installed software on your computer.
It buttresses NONE of the claims you made.

Until you get serious about this, I call FUD and BS.

Exclamation

Such a draconian rebuttal, Capt. Blight.

Yeah, I didn't think you could.
