Question Where are the Tor Browser config files stored?


Hi.

I downloaded TB from https://www.torproject.org/download/, extracted the tor-browser-linux64-10.0.9_en-US.tar.xz file and ran it from the start-tor-browser.desktop file.

I don't see any obvious dot (hidden) file. I looked in '~/.config'.

Anyone know?

Thanks.

Inside the directory Tor was installed to, because if you download it from it's website, you can extract the compressed archive almost anywhere you like.

In /path/to/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor - replace /path/to/ with the wherever you uncompressed the archive file to.

PS: This wasn't hard to find - have a look inside the directory it specifies, you'll see it's config files there.

Thanks, jsbjsb001. It was not obvious, anyway.
