TorBrowser-Data in app directory instead of Library

Support Tor Browser Desktop
1

For years now we have installed Tor desktop for macOS at ~/Applications instead of /Applications with no problems.

After the update to Tor Browser 12.5 a new directory called TorBrowser-Data has been created in ~/Library.
Is this the expected behavior?

For troubleshooting we uninstalled/deleted Tor Browser and all associated files and folders and reinstalled the app again to ~/Applications and the result is the same.

I can’t confirm this. After freshly installing from TorBrowser-12.5-macos_ALL.dmg to ~/Applications there is no directory ~/Library/TorBrowser-Data.

I was also able to reproduce this on an old macOS 10.13.6 system with the current Tor Browser.app version 12.5.
