 Priority:  normal       |      Milestone:           
Component:  Tor Browser  |        Version:           
 Keywords:  permissions  |         Parent:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Installing a centrally-accessible copy of TBB on OS X results in only the
 installing user being able to launch the bundle, owing to a permissions
 issue:

 [Warning] ../../Contents/Resources/Data/Tor is not owned by this user
 (REDACTED, REDACTED) but by REDACTED (REDACTED). Perhaps you are running
 Tor as the wrong user?
 [Warning] Failed to parse/validate config: Couldn't access/create private
 data directory "../../Contents/Resources/Data/Tor"
 [Error] Reading config failed--see warnings above.

 If possible, TBB should be re-made in such a fashion that it can be
 installed on OS X by one user, yet used successfully by others, without
 having to manually undertake a permissions-workaround.

 Problem encountered with TBB Version 2.2.35-4 - OS X (64-Bit) on OS X
 10.6.8.
