Hi all,
So on doing some research, it is apparently possible to auto update firefox on Windows using this script here:

Could this also be used to auto update tor browser? Thanks very much.

Sure, you can find instructions on the Tor wiki: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBrowser/Updating#Manual... But you probably won't have much fun doing it.
Firefox has behavior that probably you won't want to implement in a batch file. You could assume that there always exists an incremental update from the current Tor Browser version to the next version (such as from 9.0.8 to 9.0.9). This will work for ~6 months, until the current alpha version becomes the new stable version, and then you would update your script such that it checks for the new version number (such as 9.0.10 to 9.5, and then 9.5 to 9.5.1). I think you can create a batch script for the other parts with relative ease. On Thu, May 28, 2020 at 03:03:35PM -0700, Keifer Bly wrote:
Thanks, what’s going on is I am running a tor bridge from the tor browser bundle. So, could this be made into a batch file to just run on clicking it? Thx very much. I know how to make a batch file, I am just wondering if this will work on auto updating tor with the same code every time.
