I know this question has been asked multiple times here, but they are all very outdated (5+ years old), and none of the answers work with the latest versions.
I am specifically asking for solutions to the latest stable release version of Tor Browser
(i.e. Tor Browser 11.0.1) as I am concerned thatabout Firefox has now even started bundlingbundling adware inside its browser, and I am unwilling to accept that.
Currently, Tor can be successfully disabled on Tor Browser 10.5.10 (after disabling automatic update) with these steps:
- Setup the following environment variables -
TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1
andTOR_TRANSPROXY=1
. - Create a new file
autoconfig.js
with the following content:
pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
- Create a new file
firefox.cfg
with the following content:
// Disable Tor Permanently
lockPref("extensions.torlauncher.start_tor", false);
lockPref("network.dns.disabled", false);
lockPref("network.proxy.socks_remote_dns", false);
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 0);
- On macOS, copy autoconfig.js to
Tor Browser.app/Content/Resources/defaults/pref
- On macOS, copy firefox.cfg to
Tor Browser.app/Content/Resources/
This works great with Tor Browser v10.5.10
, but not with the latest Tor Browser v11.0.1.
What needs to be done to disable Tor in Tor Browser v11.0.1 (and above) completely?
