Pier Angelo Vendrame pushed to branch main at The Tor Project / Applications / tor-browser-build Commits: dc6d32b9 by Pier Angelo Vendrame at 2026-03-05T18:17:47+01:00 Bug 40892: Move tor app data. We stored app data such as torrc-defaults and the geoip files in the directory where we are storing also the user data, which might be confusing. In addition to that, with this change, we make Linux and Windows coherent with macOS, where we were already storing this data in the app bundle for signing/notarization purposes. And in general, it is clearer if we move user data to live outside the program directory, as the updater will stop touching that directory. - - - - - 1 changed file: - projects/browser/build Changes: ===================================== projects/browser/build ===================================== @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ touch "$GENERATEDPREFSPATH" DOCSPATH=[% c('var/ProjectName') %]/Docs EXTSPATH=distribution/extensions TORBINPATH=TorBrowser/Tor - TORCONFIGPATH=TorBrowser/Data/Tor + TORCONFIGPATH=$TORBINPATH [% IF c("var/tor-browser") -%] PROFILEPATH=[% c('var/ProjectName') %]/Data/Browser/profile.default/extensions @@ -230,6 +230,8 @@ done [% IF c("var/linux") && c("var/tor-browser") %] chmod 700 "${TB_STAGE_DIR}/Browser/[% c('var/ProjectName') %]/Data/Browser" + # Pre-create the data directory to make sure it gets restrictive permissions. + mkdir -p "${TB_STAGE_DIR}/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor" chmod 700 "${TB_STAGE_DIR}/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor" [% END %] View it on GitLab: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/commit/dc... -- View it on GitLab: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/commit/dc...
