Re: [orca-list] TOR Browser is inaccessible in Ubuntu 22.04

[Rastislav Kish <rastislav kish protonmail com>]

Hello,

yes, it seems that way, and I feel I already found a possible cause.

From:

https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md


Version 3.3, released on Oct 2020:


"Various bug fixes, as well as AppData and AppArmor fixes"


I wouldn't be surprised if they fixed the AppArmor profile so well, that
it breaks the accessibility.

Firejails's profile for TB suffers from a similar issue, accessibility
is quite easy to mess with sandboxing software.


Perhaps it might be worth opening an issue, asking to either fix the
problem if possible, or, if it would compromise the desired security
level, add a possibility to turn the problematic feature off for blind
users.


Best regards


Rastislav
