Please consider using Whonix https://www.whonix.org/ instead of TBB.

It runs tor in one virtual machine, and your browser in another virtual 
machine.

Whonix is a much safer way to use Tor, since it isolates your OS from 
the clearnet better. It cleanly redirects all internet requests to Tor 
at one single point. TBB just can't do it quite the same way, and is 
more likely to leak requests into the clearnet.

All you need to do is to install and start VirtualBox, and add 2 Whonix 
virtual machines into it.
