Are you getting an error? Sometimes updates in Tor Browser itself will break Tor Browser Launcher. There's a good chance that the problem you're experiencing has already been fixed in the newest version. Try installing from Flatpak (instructions below), or build from source.

  • I am using the latest version and the problem persists.
    Debian testing with latest updates.
    Install torbrowser-launcher from debian testing repo.
    Launch torbrowser-launcher, downloading tor browser, use built in bridge, connect to internet.
    Try to watch videos from different sites and i got errors:
    -error code 102630
    -not found
    -endless loading
    -format is not supported
    -different mime type
    -to play video, you may need to install the required video codecs
    -other number error codes
    So. i delete torbrowser-launcher from system and delete config files of torbrowser.
    Try to build torbrowser-launcher from source according to "https://github.com/torproject/torbrowser-launcher/blob/main/BUILD.md"
    on step ./build_deb.sh i got error with module distro.
    So i install sudo apt install python3-distro and built and install torbrowser-launcher form source.
    package python3-distro not implemented in your installation guide.
    Launch torbrowser-launcher, downloading tor browser, use built in bridge, connect to internet.
    Try to watch videos from different sites and i got same errors.
    So, i download torbrowser from official tor website, launch torbrowser.
    Try to watch videos from different sites and i got same errors.

Another step is boot into archlinux, install torbrowser-launcher from arch repo, torbrowser downloaded. Launch torbrowser.
Try to watch videos from different sites and all works. Download torbrowser from official tor website, launch torbrowser, try to watch videos from different sites and all works. No problems on archlinux.

Another step is boot to debian stable, install torbrowser-launcher form debian stable repo, torbrowser download failed. Seems download link hardcoded and unavailable for download
