Welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

Tor ‘black screen’ has been addressed. Looking back at one of the marked solutions, there is an additional word at beginning of the line that may have caused confusion for you “edit :” (removing that word to fix now).

1.) Close blackscreen tor browser.

2.) Edit /etc/apparmor.d/local/torbrowser.Browser.firefox

3.) Add this one line to that file, exactly as shown below (make sure to delete anything else in file):
owner /{dev,run}/shm/org.mozilla.*.* rw,

4.) Now issue:
sudo systemctl restart apparmor

Retart Tor browser again from menu and reply here to let me know it works for you :slight_smile:

The issue has been patched for quite some time now on 4.7
4.8 is still in beta. Wont suggest messing around with it unless user knows what they’re upto.
