So I tried to load Tor for Android, but it could not reach directories, with or without bridges, I get an error that a Firewall is blocking access to the bridges/directory servers.
Is there a version of Tor for Android that works in the UAE? Is it the phone I bought, a Nokia 6.1? Does Tor run on other Android phones?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We added the --enable-tor-browser-data-outside-app-dir option (which we currently use on macOS), to be able to store the profile in a TorBrowser-Data directory outside the bundle directory, to avoid codesigning issues on macOS. However, I think it is not currently possible to select where the TorBrowser-Data directory is located.
On the tor-packagers mailing list, Thomas Klausner suggested a patch to be able to store the profile in the HOME directory:
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-packagers/2019-March/000060.html
However, I am not sure if the patch is enough, or if more things are needed to handle updates correctly.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/29714"Save ___ as" crashes browser every time2022-02-03T19:04:48ZTrac"Save ___ as" crashes browser every timeHi there I use Tor Browser 8.0.6 and I've been having an issue since at least the past couple of versions that causes Tor Browser to crash when attempting to save files.

Reproduce glitch by right clicking on a file download or an image and click "save file as" or "save image as" respectively.
Not sure why I can't find my version number but it is version 8.0.6 according to the official Tor start page.
Furthermore I do not see any errors in the terminal when the browser crashes while running from the terminal.

When I log into Riot, I can see in TB's Storage Inspector that data is written to IndexedDB and Local Storage. When I close the Riot tab and reopen Riot in a new tab, I am no longer logged in. In Storage Inspector, the IndexedDB data seems to persist (even over browser restarts, as intended), but Local Storage was not kept when closing the tab and a new guest session is written.
I have reproduced this problem on Riot v0.17.8 and later, as well as Tor Browser 8.0.4 and later. It does not occur on Firefox ESR. Without persistent Local Storage, it is not possible to use the device-based E2E encryption that Matrix offers, because old messages will not decrypt properly and all communication partners have to re-verify my "devices" every time I close the tab and log back in.
IMO, Tor Browser should keep all data stored by sites that are explicitly whitelisted by the user, not just cookies and IndexedDB.

```
What I have figured out so far:
* Tor-Browser maintains its own HOME directory, which is set in .../Browser/start-tor-browser and points to .../Browser/
* When accessing (or trying to) pulseaudio, Tor-Browser uses the pulseaudio files (.pulse/ and .pulse-cookie) as well as the .esd_auth from this fake HOME.
In my case, Tor-Browser was not able talk with the already running pulseaudio daemon - very likely due to a mismatch in the auth cookie (did not verify this). After manually removing these files and directory and copying them from the real users HOME, audio playback did work again.
My temporary fix is to remove and copy above mentioned files before starting tor-browser:
```
# fix up pulseaudio stuff...
rm ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.esd_auth
rm ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse-cookie
rm ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse/*
rmdir ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse
cp -p $HOME/.esd_auth ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.esd_auth
cp -p $HOME/.pulse-cookie ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse-cookie
cp -pr $HOME/.pulse ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/
```
If there is no specific reason (privacy, information leak, ...) not to do so, tor-browser startup should make sure that those files in the fake HOME contain correct data to allow communication with pulseaudio.
