What file did you download and where is it located?

As per the instructions, extract the files to a USB stick, then simply execute the start-tor-browser script.

Double clicking the tarball should start the extraction. You can either extract straight to the USB stick or move the files there afterwards.

 To run the script:

cd /media/volumename
#where volumename is the volume name of the USB stick
./start-tor-browser
#to run the script and start Firefox Aurora.

Why does it need to go on a USB stick? I just ra it from a folder which is how the OS will see the mounted file system.

Makes no sense at all...

Can you help with this problem?
