Comment (by gk): Replying to [comment:24 WalrusInAnus]: > Well, Tor has logging built in, which is enabled from within torrc file. I thought it might be of some use. Hm, maybe although I currently doubt that as it is the browser which is crashing. So, let's take this road later in case we have not solved the issue and have no clue on how to make progress. > Don't know how to do the diff thing though, unfortunately. Which folders should I compare and how? Not sure how to do that efficiently on Windows but you could do the following things: 1) Copy the broken setup to a new folder (only use the one in the new folder for debugging; in case anything goes wrong you still have the broken setup at the original location to start over) 2) Test that it is still broken in the new folder 3) If 2) is the case remove the `TorBrowser` directory and everything below it (it is located in the `Browser` folder) and replace it with the `TorBrowser` contents of the working setup 4) Test whether it is still broken This should help us narrow the issue down a lot and we can think about how to proceed further depending on the results. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22581#comment:26> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
