For those who regularly download Internet files, Tor Browser's default download folder is inconvenient. For example, if the sample image below was downloaded with Tor Browser, the download path is <code>/home/user/.tb/tor-browser/Browser/Downloads</code> by default. It is time-consuming to navigate to this folder so far down the directory tree. '''Figure:''' ''Default Tor Browser Download Folder'' {{ContentImage| [[File:tbbd.png]] }} To make things simpler, the following steps change Tor Browser preferences so files are saved directly inside <code>/home/user/Downloads</code>. {{Box|text= '''1.'''
