At some point you have to realize two things - the restrictions we added to browsers inside are *intentional* to reduce access outside of their general usage, in particular restrictions inside your home directory
- But some libraries and applications you are trying to use are designed to violate those principles *intentionally*, because they are written by people on other operating systems, and they either believe they should have access to everything, or they are written to inadvertently access such things. So these principles are incompatible. Sometimes a middle ground can be reached, but there are so many of these circumstances that it is likely that all the possible use cases will never be satisfied. So it is a huge amount of developer time being spent _for the atypical user_. So, have you considered using Linux instead? And I'm really not joking. I'm very serious. That is a system, like Windows, bending over backwards to ensure that applications can do anything they want inside your home directory. It's so bizzare. You are disabling one type of security to gain what you believe is another type of security, hammering nails you do not know. Do you not sense the dissonance? onatinadr...@tutanota.com wrote: > > > (sorry, I forgot to break lines) > > ok, I disabled unveil by renaming all unveil* files and creating new files > that contain only "# disable". the issue persists though. another hint: > libmozav* files in /usr/local/lib/tor-browser have the extension .7.0. > those in /usr/local/lib/firefox-esr, have the extension 9.0. maybe > that's the reason. > > Jan 13, 2023, 23:55 by : > > > ok, I disabled unveil by renaming all unveil* files and creating new files > > that contain only "# disable". the issue persists though. another hint: > > libmozav* files in /usr/local/lib/tor-browser have the extension .7.0. > > those in /usr/local/lib/firefox-esr, have the extension 9.0. maybe that's > > the reason. > > > > Jan 13, 2023, 14:26 by s...@spacehopper.org: > > > >> On 2023/01/13 13:30, onatinadr...@tutanota.com wrote: > >> > >>> before installing ffmpeg, both tor-browser and firefox-esr play > >>> youtube videos with sound. after installing ffmpeg, firefox-esr > >>> plays videos on other sites too but tor-browser does not. it > >>> shows a warning that I need to install codecs.
