First off, I aploogise for the long post. I’ve tried to include everything.
I can’t seem to find anything on this so it must be something I’m doing wrong.
I’ve installed the latest version of Whonix with Virtualbox 6.1. I had this running perfectly with a previous version but after a drive failure I had to rebuild it.
I’m having an issue with Tor Browser on the Workstation.
It crashes out after about 15-30 seconds of opening, and I get this error…
ERROR: Tor Browser ended with non-zero (error) exit code!
Tor Browser was started with:
/home/user/.tb/tor-browser/Browser/start-tor-browser --verbose --allow-remote .
Tor Browser exited with code: 139
To see this for yourself, you could try:
Start Menu → System → Xfce Terminal
Then run:
torbrowser
If I open with torbrowser --debug It crashes with these pop ups…
ERROR: x-www-browser returned 139! Please report this bug!
and
ERROR: Tor Browser maybe_use_open_link_confirmation error.

I have run updates on both VMs, they are up to date as far as I’m aware.
The TorBrowser version on the OVA image is 11.0.6 I have successfully updated this to 11.0.10 through the Terminal, as all other options fail, but it doesn’t help. It still crashes.
I have the Workstation running with 4 processors and 4GB RAM.
I would love some help as this is driving me mad.
Thanks.
