when attempting to go on Tor private browsing , my 'tab' does NOT say firefox , it is however purple , and it says 'Torbrowser"
my computer has the Tor program loaded , i only managed to actually view Tor one time , the next several days , I go to log on to Tor , it brings up the private browsing screen after I click on the purple tab that says private browsing , the tab is purple but never said firefox , even when I know firefox has been downloaded , I am running Windows 7 Ultimate , never had this sort of problem before , but here is the most frustrating issue , while I have no problem getting to the 'private browsing' , the screen the tells me I am in 'private browsing' , simply stalls , and I cannot get beyond that screen , in other words , I can never actually get on to Tor. So , whats the deal ??? .... Help !!!

Hi,
You can download Tor + Firefox here: https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en
After extracting you can try to browse to the extracted folder and start the Tor Firefox directly. Please note that though Tor uses Firefox as its browser, it is a customized one and is separate from the original Mozilla Firefox. So if you have Mozilla Firefox installed, you would have two Firefox versions and you have to start the correct version or you can start and use both. Usually Mozilla Firefox would be listed in the start menu as Mozilla Firefox.
