I’m getting this error when trying to launch Tor Browser:
Failed to run:
/home/user/.tb/tor-browser/Browser/start-tor-browser --allow-remote "file:///usr/share/homepage/whonix-welcome-page/whonix.html".
Exited with code: 2
I saw somewhere that I can probably redownload Tor Browser to fix the issue, but that this method would lose my bookmarks. Is there any way to save my bookmarks before I do this, or is there another way to fix the problem without redownloading the browser?
Thanks.
Hi pointdrifter
Could you please post the output from the following.
cd ~/.tb/tor-browser/Browser
./start-tor-browser --debug
You might be able to backup your bookmarks in the Tor Browser default.profile folder. I don’t use bookmarks in Tor Browser so I’m not sure.
~/.tb/tor-browser/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/bookmarkbackups
Yes, sure. It’s a Firefox feature inherited by Tor Browser therefore also inherited by Whonix.
Just now documented here:
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Tor_Browser/Advanced_Users#Backup_and_Restore
Documentation can be certainly followed by advanced users but it’s not novice user proof yet as it does not spell out instructions in a way that doesn’t require any complexity at all.
