[Bug]: Tor Browser not opening

[bourbonbourbon]

There is something going on with the Browser\browser (current\browser missing) directory. I simply copy that from the archive file and then the browser works just fine.

@cacophobe That is interesting, do you see a current/browser folder? Because for me scoop is not extracting it correctly, it extracts the contents of Browser/browser and then overwrites it with the contents of Browser excluding Browser/browser. I tried downgrading but I still see the same error. I think scoop itself was updated and how it is behaving weird?

Do you see the browser GUI? Because I do not.

The release of scoop version 0.4.2 coincides with release of tor 13.0.15.
https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/blob/master/bucket/tor-browser.json
https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop/releases

So probably a bug in scoop itself and not with tor or this bucket.

I can confirm, this is an issue. Started after update to version 13.0.15 for me. I installed it manually (without scoop) to confirm that it works fine by itself.

This may or may not be related, but in case it helps, I noticed a new executable called lyrebird.exe in INSTALL_FOLDER\browser\torbrowser\tor\pluggabletransports\lyrebird.exe that needed internet access.

Can confirm that copying the missing folder fixes the issue, just tested it in version 13.0.16. Will report the issue on Scoop, since it may be a problem with the extracting process.
