Ship TBB-Firefox as a separately downloadable package
I and other Tor users will want to use Tor without Polipo, without using a Tor Browser Bundle. There are several reasons to want to do this:
- to avoid having to install extensions in and configure a new TBB every time a new version is released;
- to avoid having to wait for another Tor client to start before running a web browser;
- to make it easier to browse through a custom Tor compiled from Git.
I'm sure there are other good reasons for this that I haven't thought of.
We need to provide our patched versions of Firefox as separately downloadable binary packages, particularly for Windows (when we start building a patched Firefox on Windows) and MacOS, because building Firefox is much harder on those OSes than on Linux.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have admin enable hashed storage. More information
