#TOR BROWSER PORTABLE EXECUTABLE UPDATE#
#TOR BROWSER PORTABLE EXECUTABLE SOFTWARE#

If you just surf with normal Firefox Portable used on a normal windows computer and you just manage to hack things the way that you can log on the Tor network, you have absolutely no increase in anonymity.

#TOR BROWSER PORTABLE EXECUTABLE SOFTWARE#

The frequent updates of the Tor Browser and other publications like Tail try to counteract new discovered holes where all sorts of additional software installed or downloaded will attempt to communicate with some services bypassing the Tor network. The reason is not only in plugins and extensions today, the reason is also with browsers themselves, many websites and more. It will not give you anything else, particularly no anonymisation at all. Just to use your what ever version of Firefox and somehow manage to log into the Tor network gives you only bad performance. The reason why Tor devs blocked such use is that you then disturb and break the whole system they are trying to keep running. What is the particular reason to try to use a very slow proxy network while using other networks at the same time? The question is then why to surf with Tor and break the Tor system when the only result you get from it is very slow surfing.

So there is no such thing as having it almost function or being fine for average user etc. It either work to specification or alternative it does not work at all. Note that in this subject there no things like 'for most things it will be OK'. There will be no anonymous surfing but this is what you have been looking for. All you will get is very slow communication, but this is about all. Use on normal Firefox is of no value at all. This is why it only the Tor browser bundle is of some use and this needs frequent updates from the Tor org themselves. To avoid all those problems and keep Tor functioning as designed, it needs to be used only with specially patched browser. This did bring the Tor system to a point where such users then complained that Tor was not serving the purpose and was not able to provide anonymous communication any more. Reason was mainly, that people refused to learn abt Tor then and used it on a normal Firefox with other extensions and more crazy even with plugins installed on the host system.

Those extensions were remotely permanently disabled (destroyed) over the extensions update service by the authors. There were extensions helping to use the Tor with standard Firefox.
