| Jan 14, 2022 at 5:30 | comment | added | Logan Kling | You can change the permissions to allow for the user to modify the TorBrowser.app/TorBrowser/Data directory to fix this issue. At least in Windows. Only allowing the user to modify TorBrowser.app/TorBrowser/Data/Browser will still cause issues as TorBrowser will still be unable to modify it's own configuration files in TorBrowser.app/TorBrowser/Data/Tor | |

Removed details of when a supposed change was made. (I didn't write the text I'm removing - I must have accidentally agreed to the edit?). I can't find any evidence that any changes to ownership handling was made in mid-July.

| Aug 30, 2015 at 2:15 | comment | added | WGroleau | I open the DMG and copy the application. Any other method is not only ineffective but more work. Same way I do any app that doesn't have an installer. I already said I'm not trying to run it from the DMG. I tried the advice for installing it in the non-admin directory owned by the non-admin account. It works that way. So apparently it is a general ownership problem--a silly design change done mid-July. Silly because it means that an admin has to install and update a separate copy for every user on every machine. So, with slight edits, I will relax my demand and accept that answer. | |

Are you extracting the DMG and then copying to the /Applications directory, or copying the DMG to the /Applications directory and opening it there?

| Aug 29, 2015 at 3:48 | comment | added | WGroleau | Also, that bug is shown as closed five months ago. This problem started much less than five months ago. And what in the Sam Hill is the rationale for a single profile for all instances of an app on a multi-user operating system? | |
| Aug 29, 2015 at 3:43 | comment | added | WGroleau | I am not trying to run it from the DMG. It is in the same place as 272 other apps that have no permissions problems. Also, earlier versions did not have this problem. And /Applications is not a "read-only file system." | |
