description:
Tor Browser is built using [Firefox ESR](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/), so errors regarding Firefox may occur.
Please be sure no other instance of Tor Browser is already running, and that you have extracted Tor Browser in a location that your user has the correct permissions for.

Google uses "geolocation" to determine where in the world you are, so it can give you a personalized experience. This includes using the language it thinks you prefer, and it also includes giving you different results on your queries.
title: My internet connection requires an HTTP or SOCKS Proxy

You can set Proxy IP address, port, and authentication information in [Tor Browser's Network Settings](https://tb-manual.torproject.org/running-tor-browser/). If you're using Tor another way, check out the HTTPProxy and HTTPSProxy config options in the [manual page](https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en), and modify your torrc file accordingly. You will need an HTTP proxy for doing GET requests to fetch the Tor directory, and you will need an HTTPS proxy for doing CONNECT requests to get to Tor relays. (It's fine if they're the same proxy.) Tor also recognizes the torrc options Socks4Proxy and Socks5Proxy.
While the names may imply otherwise, 'Incognito mode' and 'private tabs' do not make you anonymous on the Internet.
They erase all the information on your machine relating to the browsing session after they are closed, but have no measures in place to hide your activity or digital fingerprint online.
