I sometimes need it because of its functionality to connect to the Tor network. The Tor browser itself is just too slow for what I need. Yes, I am aware that using Tor like that is significantly less secure than it would be with the Tor browser. I just NEED the speed increase it provides over the Tor browser.
Does anyone know of a way to do the same thing in another browser? Preferably Firefox? I would love to be able to use something else.
Thanks, but it seems like this thing requires a local tor network to be running on the host. They provide scripts to do that for mac and windows, but not for Linux. Sure, I could probably do it manually, but then I would have to manually start it every time I want to connect to tor. Not ideal.

I’ve never used it and can’t actually recommend it but a 1 second search for “firefox tor” found this:
