sudo apt-get remove --purge tor I think that did the trick; thank you. :-) Do you really use Abrowser and not Icecat? I had Icecat installed some time ago and removed it again afterwards. Maybe tor was just an artifact from that older installation.

Hello there, I just noticed that there is a process tor running in the background even though I never installed tor. Does this now come by default with abrowser? How can I disable tor? Thanks a lot for your answers.

There is an add-on called Private Tor browsing but it has been disabled already. Strangely, I still have a tor process running in the background.

You could stop it from running by changing S20tor to K20tor in /etc/rc2.d through /etc/rc.5 $ ls /etc/rc2.d README S20hddtemp S20speech-dispatcherS70pppd-dns S16openvpn S20postfix S20tor S91apache2 S19mysql S20rsync

Looks like it's using the Torbutton, should be able to disable it under add-ons ? Not sure...

Thanks a lot. I seem to have kinda missed that discussion. As I don't want to search the whole thread for this information: How can I disable tor?

Hum... unfortunately torbutton is not installed on my machine. Thus, I can't disable it. ;-)

strange tor is normally symbolized by a little green onion in the systray or browser, if that shows you could click on it for 'options', otherwise I don't know, sorry...
