    First, if you do not have it, you would get Firefox.

    1. Install the addon called "Torbutton" (Tools > Addons > search for it there OR go to the Mozilla Addons page (addons.mozilla.org)).

    2. Then install TOR, it will automatically configure most of your settings.

    3. Start up TOR. Make sure the TOR window has a GREEN onion (That means it is connected).

    4. Click on the Torbutton addon in Firefox(Lower right hand side saying "Tor Disabled") to enable Tor.

    5. Browse using Tor. You are finished the install.

    5a. If you want to browse normally, click on the torbutton again.



    If you want to know about the more advanced features go to the Tor Project's Documentation
    https://www.torproject.org/docs/documentation.html.en

    Hope this is helpful

    This is all unnecessary as on the download page, there is the "browser bundle" - everything already packaged and ready to go including "Firefox". And no installation needed - just run it ;)
