Hopefully the problem the patch that caused this issue was trying to fix (New Window and New Private Window commands being available when all windows are private windows) will be fixed by Mozilla at some point: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1738027
Yeah I can reproduce this reliably on MacOS Monterey, I noticed this immediately after installing v11 ... it took me a bit of frustration to figure out which setting caused it ... don't get how nobody noticed this, but it is what it is.
I also noticed that some websites seem to be using different fonts now than they used to ... is this a known problem, by any chance? Couldn't find it in the bug tracker. (EDIT: Never mind, seems this ticket comes close ... tor-browser-build#40382 (closed))
because there are only so many alpha users and TB does not officially support running in non Private Windows Mode - it defeats the purpose of disk avoidance and other mitigations
Feel free to download and run alpha to help out with edge cases like yours :)
Well, that's sad. I have several Tor Browser profiles, and the lazy one for non-critical stuff runs in non-private mode. This way, I can make Tor Browser my one and only browser.
BTW, my most paranoid profile gets its whole Profile Dir auto-shredded whenever the browser exits ;-)
I get it (why people do it), as long as you/they know the risks. And breaking chrome UI was unexpected, just don't expect devs to test very possible configuration
Which is why it would be nice for some more alpha testers .. it's free :) Just fire it up, update it and test a couple of websites once in a while ... join the green side Luke (also the green is cool .. be cool, be an alpha tester)
Yep, I think it makes sense to configure your TB Alpha to match the same settings you use on Stable, for testing. Otherwise we all end up testing the same default configs.
Hello everyone. I only signed up to confirm that it happens in my case, too. I added a question on tor.stackexchange.com a few days ago, but it has no replies. After searching a little I found the official blog where they mention this problem. It's a little bit worse than what's shown in that picture, because some sites use very large icon and the tabs just accomodate that resulting in a humongously sized tab bar (and proportionally smaller active window). In case it matters (as stated in the tor.se page), my reason for using this is to remember the sites while not having anything else remembered; it tends to be tedious if you have to type the same things, over and over, everyday. I'm using Archlinux.

It should be fixed in version 11.0.1, which will be released soon.
Can also confirm that the Non-Private Browsing issues is fixed in 11.0.1.
I'm still having issues with incorrect fonts. Mentioned that in the respective ticket and provided examples.
