update manual wrt TB 12.5

fixes #147 (closed) #121 (closed)

  • While reviewing the installation instructions for Linux (tested on Ubuntu)
Note: On Ubuntu and some other distros if you try to launch start-tor-browser.desktop a text file might open up. To change this behavior and launch Tor Browser instead, follow this:

    Launch "Files" (GNOME Files/Nautilus)
    Click on Preferences.
    Navigate to the 'Behavior' Tab.
    Select "Run them" or "Ask what to do" under "Executable Text Files".
    If you choose the latter click on "Run" after launching the start-tor-browser.desktop file.

These instructions don't actually work anymore. Modified the instructions here to encourage users to find this setting in their respective file manager.
