Don't cd to ~/.i2pb/i2p-browser/Browser by eyedeekay · Pull Request #5 · Kicksecure/tb-starter · GitHub

There is an i2pbrowser wrapper script in tb-starter package. Installed by default in Whonix even in stable repository. But I am not sure it’s functional or maintained. No idea if still functional in Tor Browser 9. I don’t maintain it.

Probably best discussed in this thread:
