Advice

  • If the TOR browser does not start, your workstation network is blocking connections to the TOR network. You will need to find and use a Tor Brigde, i.e. unregistered connections.
  • To keep the USB folder neater, you could first move all Firefox downloads to a separate folder, and then link them to the root USB folder.
