When I use Firefox and Tor is on and Torbutton is enabled and I want to download a file, say .rar file, and I redirect download with FlashGot add-on to SpeedDownload manager - is this download goes via TOR and is really anonymous? Or only "save as" via Firefox downloader is anonymous?
Tor Browser Download Mac Os X

I'm on a MacBook running OSX 10.6.6. I've have been using Vidalia regularly for the past few months with no problems, but past few weeks Tor seems to be running really really slow. I been getting 404s and all that crap, taking sevreal minutes to load a page (probably not a problem on my end - I dunno) but I noticed when I look at the network map no locations of the servers are displayed, the map shows no lines, no country flags appear and it seems I been getting the same two or three servers that pop up all the time. I used to get dozens. Anyway I decided to reinstall/update Tor. I removed every piece of Tor per the instructions on the TorProject.org page, then downloaded the latest stable release and installed it - simple drag and drop. Well now Tor will not open. It pops up and says it detected and "unexpected quit" and check the log for the problem. Well nothing comes up in the log - it's completely blank. I again deleted every bit of Tor from my system (per the instructions) thinking there must be some setting that's a problem. Reinstalled the same version again - it won't start up. I even tried installing the unstable version - same problem. What the hell is going on?
I am using the latest Torbrowser bundle for intelMac from a usb. The Noscript "Temprary allow all this page" & "Revoke tempoary permissions" buttons do not work, that is the page is not refreshed. I tried the normal Vidalia Bundle for intelmac using the main hard drive and I am encountering the same problem. To enable javascript I have to disable Noscript first! The OS is 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I've got a G4 ibook. I downloaded the latest Vidalia package, with a clean install of Firefox 3.6. The Vidalia turns green and days TOR is connected, but when I try to install the TORbutton, I get the message this is not a "valid" install. I also do not see Polipo in the download file-any ideas as to what is wrong?
TOR button will not install on my G4 ibook/10.4 and Firefox 3.6. Polipo doesn't seem to be in the latest powerpc Vidalia download, either. Vidalis turns green and says it is connected, but the check shows it is not protected.
For TOR to be useable by average people on a Mac you're going to have to revise the way it is downloaded and installed and relative help. I spent four hours trying to figure this out but still can't get it to work. Finally got it running with an included browser only to have it crash and the be left with no clue on how to reopen the browser window without restarting. Too many techies busy with this app and not updating FAQ and Instructions, leaving the general public at a loss and worse, potentially vulnerable when they believe they are protected. TOR should work out of the box without complicated install/uninstall procedures. I highly discourage anyone without expert skills from using this until it is properly fixed for simple users. Now I am left with Tor bit and pieces scattered about my OS conflicting with each other. Reminds me of Windows. Start by removing all irrelevant instructions and FAQ, like 'Install Tor button' only to discover it has been removed from the Firefox add-on site, thus confusing everyone.
I really need some help, ive been trying to install Tor &Vidalia on my computer for a solid hour now and i dont understand some of ths stuff but i understand a good half of it. I got it set up so that under the general setting where the box labeled "start the Tor software when Vidalia starts' is checked and the app it uses to open it is "start-tor-browser' but now whenever i click start tor it says right after clicking it, "Vidalia detected that the Tor software exited unexpectedly.Please check the message log for recent warning or error messages" but then i check the message log and its completelly blank. can anyone help?
Mac user here. Just downloaded the tor browser bundle for mac (am using OS 10.6). The download and extract were successful (straight to my hard disk) and the icon appears ready for launch but the application won't start when i try to open it. help?
Mac browser bundle won't open on OS 10.5.8 either. Click on "TorBrowser_en-US", the icon appears in the Dock, bounces once, and shuts down. I was running the TorBrowser just fine before. I saw a message saying there was a security update so I downloaded it and replaced my old TorBrowser. Now I have nothing. Why won't someone help us Mac people? (And don't say "get a PC" That's unhelpful and insulting.)
same with me. working with mac OS 10.5.8, could not open/install the tor browser bundle, the vidalia.app just won't work because of the error -10810. tried to look up that error, but didn't find a solution. it would be nice to get some help. will try to get a newer OS now, perhaps that will work.
Even after I located the browser program and selected the correct path, and hit the start Tor button Tor would not launch. It looks like it tried to launch but then immediately shut down again. I am very disappointed, how can you put something out there that has these kinds of bugs?
MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.8.Downloaded 32-bit Mac bundle.Renamed bundle (taking out spaces in file name).Moved bundle to Applications folder.Ran bundle - Vidalia opens, then Tor browser. All o.k. Browser works. Tor button looks o.k. https everywhere looks o.k.Locked vidalia & tor icons to the dock and quit both app's
However - when I run tor directly from the file in the Applications folder Vodalia opens and successfully connects to tor. Then, after a short delay (5-10 secs) the tor browser opens successfully too.
The Tor Browser is the flagship product from the Tor Project. The web browser is based on a modified version of Mozilla Firefox ESR that includes extras like the Tor proxy, TorButton, TorLauncher, NoScript, and HTTPS Everywhere extensions.
Tor is not a VPN. Tor is a free browser similar to Chrome or Firefox, but it includes features that encrypt your IP address, making your browsing sessions private. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is software that can change your IP address when you use any browser installed on your PC. To learn more about VPNs, you can read this article.
As part of our work with the UX team, we will also be coordinating user testing of this new UI to continue iterating and make sure we are always improving our users' experience. We are also planning a series of improvements not only for the Tor Launcher flow but for the whole browser experience (once you are connected to Tor) including a new user onboarding flow. And last but not least we are streamlining both our mobile and desktop experience: Tor Browser 7.5 adapted the security slider design we did for mobile bringing the improved user experience to the desktop as well.
The Tor Browser works just like a regular web browser . Web browsers are programs you use to view web sites. Examples include Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Unlike other web browsers, though, the Tor Browser sends your communications through Tor, making it harder for people who are monitoring you to know exactly what you're doing online, and harder for people monitoring the sites you use to know where you're connecting from.
If you are using Safari, the Tor Browser will start to download. In Firefox you will be asked whether you wish to open or save the file. For any browser, it is best to save the file first before proceeding. Select Save File and click the OK button.
This example shows Tor Browser Version 8.0.8, which was the most current version at the time this guide was published. There may be a more recent version of Tor Browser available for download by the time you read this, so please download and use the current version that Tor Project provides.
After the download is complete, you might get an option to open the folder where the file was downloaded. The default location is the Downloads folder. Double-click on the file TorBrowser-8.0.8-osx64_en-US.dmg
After clicking on the Tor Browser icon, a window will open with a warning about the origin of the software. You should always take these warnings seriously and make sure you trust the software you want to install and that you got an authentic copy from the official site over a secure connection. Since you know what you want, and you know where to get the software, and the download was from the Tor Project's secure HTTPS site, click Open.
Some features of a normal web browser can make you vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Other features have previously had bugs in them that revealed users' identities. Turning the security slider to a high setting disables these features. This will make you safer from well-funded attackers who can interfere with your Internet connection or use new unknown bugs in these features. Unfortunately, turning off these features can make some websites unusable. The default low setting is fine for everyday privacy protection, but you can set it to high if you are worried about sophisticated attackers, or if you don't mind if some websites do not display correctly.
You'll need to tell your GNU/Linux that you want the ability to execute shell scripts.Navigate to the newly extracted Tor Browser directory.Right click on start-tor-browser.desktop, open Properties or Preferences and change the permission to allow executing file as program. Double-click the icon to start up Tor Browser for the first time.
The latest version of Tor Browser that will work with macOS 10.11 is Tor Browser 10.5.10, which you can download from the archive. But I would not recommend using a outdated version of Tor Browser as you would be missing out on important security updates and other updates in general.
Digital signature is a process ensuring that a certain package was generated by its developers and has not been tampered with.Below we explain why it is important and how to verify that the Tor Browser you download is the one we have created and has not been modified by some attacker. 2ff7e9595c
