Tor Browser uses wrong torrc (and maybe some other wrong files too)

.
- Download (stable) Tor Browser.
- Download (alpha) Tor Browser.
- Install (alpha) Tor Browser in the default location, uncheck both checkboxes and finish the installation.
- Rename the (alpha) Tor Browser folder to
Tor Browser_alpha
to be able to distinguish both folders. - Install (stable) Tor Browser in the default location, uncheck both checkboxes and finish the installation.
- Start (alpha) Tor Browser by going in the
Tor Browser_alpha
folder and clickStart Tor Browser
. - Set a bridge in the (alpha) Tor Browser interface or do some other modifications through (alpha) Tor Browser that will get written in the
torrc
. - Close (alpha) Tor Browser and check both
torrc
s.
(Alpha) Tor Browser wrote your modifications to the torrc
in the (stable) Tor Browser
folder instead of his own torrc
in the Tor Browser_alpha
folder and both Tor Browsers will now use the same torrc
until you move (stable) Tor Browser
folder to another location.
