2023-10-04 user2859025 Followed the instructions down to a T, still doesn't establish a a connection to Tor. Completely useless add-on.

2023-08-02 Firefox user 15614831 Can't you just start tor.exe without all the Node.JS middleware? It's a fair bit of work to install that.

2022-03-06 Firefox user 17314060 Followed _exactly_the install instructions given and ended up with a full re-install of FF 0.97 to get my browser working again. did the following: 0. installed this addon 1. Download “Tor Bundle” and extract it in a local directory (https://github.com/andy-portmen/tor-bundle/releases). Put it into ~/.tor-bundle 2. put userdir/.tor-bundle into the options page text box and saved 3. downloaded the native client from https://github.com/andy-portmen/native-client/releases and installed it into ~/.tor-client and then ran ./install.sh script 4. browser console appeared on my gui (fedora 35 + gnome 41) and started spewing massive amounts of errors: stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: node:events:498 stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: ^ stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: Error [ERR_MULTIPLE_CALLBACK]: Callback called multiple times stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:371:5) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at onwrite (node:internal/streams/writable:431:28) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at node:internal/streams/transform:202:7 stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at Transform.observe [as handler] (/root/.config/com.add0n.node/host.js:432:5) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at Transform._transform (/root/.config/com.add0n.node/messaging.js:107:8) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at Transform._write (node:internal/streams/transform:184:23) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at writeOrBuffer (node:internal/streams/writable:389:12) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at _write (node:internal/streams/writable:330:10) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at Transform.Writable.write (node:internal/streams/writable:334:10) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at Input.ondata (node:internal/streams/readable:754:22) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: Emitted 'error' event on Transform instance at: stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at Transform.onerror (node:internal/streams/readable:773:14) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at Transform.emit (node:events:520:28) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at emitErrorNT (node:internal/streams/destroy:157:8) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at emitErrorCloseNT (node:internal/streams/destroy:122:3) stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:83:21) { stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: code: 'ERR_MULTIPLE_CALLBACK' stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: } again and again and again! 5. onion button cannot be switched off / tabs start timing out!
