Using a system-installed Tor process with Tor Browser:
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
The Tor ControlPort password should be given inside double quotes, inside
|
||
|
|
single quotes, i.e. if the ControlPort password is “secret” (without
|
||
|
|
curly quotes) then we must set the environment variable *exactly* like
|
||
|
|
this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD='"secret"'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yes, the variable MUST be double-quoted, then single-quoted, exactly as
|
||
|
|
shown. This is used by TorButtom to authenticate to Tor's ControlPort, and
|
||
|
|
is necessary for using TBB with a with a system-installed Tor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, if using a system-installed Tor, the following about:config
|
||
|
|
options should be set (values in <> mean they are the value taken from your
|
||
|
|
torrc):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SETTING NAME VALUE
|
||
|
|
extensions.torbutton.banned_ports [...],<SocksPort>,<ControlPort>
|

where the '[...]' in the banned_ports option means "leave anything that was
|
||
|
|
already in the preference alone, just append the things specified after it".
