Go to solution Solved by StingBull,

So I have Tor Browser on my laptop. Thing is if I try to start it it says firefox is already running. But the thing is I can't firefox running. Any perspectives would be nice

 

Open task manager, go to processes, find Firefox and terminate it. Now restart Tor browser.

 

If you have both Firefox and Tor in your PC, start Tor first and Firefox second or it won't work.

 

 

why would you need TOR?

 

Why the hell do you care?

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

Because TOR is pretty much useless.

It works better than all free VPNs that I have used. If you want to bypass censorship VPNs are generally blocked, TOR isn't.

Tor isn't fully anonymous, that's a myth. If he really does something bad, he will be caught.
