Hi, I just entered the Tor-community and can?t set the Tor-browser as standard. I tried it by using the settings within the browser and also with the Windows(10) function to assign certain apps to browse or whatever. In the list provided by W10 are only Chrome(which I normally use), IE and Edge. I noticed that your browser is recognized as Firefox by Google. Can there be a conflict? Must I install Firefox to get it in that list? Thanks in advance for any reply.

Works like a charm on my 7x64 Regards, Andrej ************************************************** Andrej I don't know what you mean by TBBs. And you are mentioning Firefox but the problem is with the Tor browser. Meanwhile I also downloaded Firefox and there is everything ok, simple settings you can adjust. Any ideas n e 1 ?

Message-ID: <147qg6btisj8lh3c3215n523.1439918485...@email.android.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Hey Wim, When talking about TBB the Tor Browser Bundle is meant. (Including vidalia and little-t-tor; You are calling it just Tor Browser but it's the same thing) TBB is built using the Firefox Kernel with some additions/extensions and mostly just a secure/careful configuration. So if you are using TBB / the Tor Browser you are always using Firefox. You can manually by following this guide on Option 2. Here you need to select the path to your firefox.exe (usually in the "Tor Browser" Folder) manually. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/7811-open-change-default-program-windows-8-a.html Please let us know if this helped, Andrej *************************************** Andrej, You won't believe it but right clicking the file doesn't give me the option to "open with"! I think this must be a Windows 10 thing... I already noticed a list in W10 where you can connect files to programs to open them with. But I think it's type of file (e.g. .exe) and then the program.. I'll check it out! ****************************************************** I did and indeed, it’s type of file and then you must choose an app. But it seems Tor isn’t recognised as an app for opening webpages. On the other hand when I tried it with Firefox itself, that was recognised of course.... Tor isn’t even in the list of all apps on the PC, although it works fine.
