Maybe it doesn't matter.. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated! Aug 16, , pm Megaohmz Wrote: Hello fellow Librarians! I just wanted to point out, that the proper way to allow Tor browser to open magnet links with an external application or actually invoke any other external app is in the about:config page. If you've never used about:config in firefox, you should probably get familiar with it first. In there, look for a bunch of preferences that start like: network.
By default, there shouldn't be one for "magnet", if there is, just flip it to "true". If there isn't, just right-click somewhere on the list, and create a new boolean parameter, and name it: network. Next time you click a magnet link, you'll see a warning, click accept and it should open in your default torrent application. Note that your application will not necessarily connect via TOR network. It won't if you're only using TOR browser, it should if all your computer's traffic is redirected through by other means.
