 I'm using linux and trying to make tor as default browser.
 But running commands like

 /home/user/tor-browser_ru/App/Firefox/firefox -no-remote -profile
 /home/user/tor-browser_ru/Data/profile -new-tab https://ya.ru

 gives me msgbox with «Firefox is already running, but is not responding.
 To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process,
 or restart your system.»

 I don't understand you at this point if that is not a bug. Because the
 main purpose of using tor-browser is to make internet-surfing safe. And
 openning links from your messengers in tor-browser (i.e. using it by
 default) seems to me an obviously logical solution.

 Ksana.
