[tor-project] Duplicate tor browser icons on Debian 13 / GNOME 48

Hello,

Thank you very much for developing Throne. I really appreciate your work on the client.

I have a small issue/question. After installing tor browser, two separate Throne icons appear in the GNOME application menu, almost as if the application has been installed twice.

I’ve attached a screenshot showing the issue.

My system information:

  • OS: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)

  • Architecture: 64-bit

  • GNOME: 48

  • Windowing System: Wayland

  • Kernel: Linux 6.12.101+deb13-amd64

  • Firmware Version: GGCN49WW

Is this a known issue, or could there be two different .desktop entries being installed?

Thank you again for your work.

Best regards

Hi,

It seems you have installed both Tor Browser and Tor Browser Launcher.
You can opt to remove either one of them.

To uninstall Tor Browser Launcher:

- If installed from the apt repos, simple run:
apt remove torbrowser-launcher

- If installed from flatpak, you can run [1]:
flatpak uninstall torbrowser-launcher

To uninstall Tor Browser [2]:

First, navigate to the directory where you unzipped the tar file.
Fire up a terminal in that exact directory and run this:

./start-tor-browser.desktop --unregister-app

...and then delete the Tor Browser folder.

cheers,
