User reported on RT #10687 that he would like to remove his Tor Browser
from his Mac completely but still can't remove a certain trace of the Tor
browser in Safari's "Develop" menu.
To add the option to Safari's developer's menu I did the following:
- Downloaded TorBrowser-2.3.25-8-osx-x86_64-en-US.zip and extracted
TorBrowser_en-US inside the Downloads folder.
- Used the Tor Browser a bit (amazon.com)
- Open Safari and check the developer menu "Open Page with"
To remove TorBrowser from Safari's developer menu:
- Delete the TBB package.
- Shutdown/Restart the system, If you don't the menu will exist until the
next restart/shutdown.
Attached is a screen shot by the user.
