Hi Maxime,

It seems that this issue is describing the new fix that is needed:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/33734

Only a simple patch would be necessary:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/acat/tor-browser/-/commit/92f480c30178c0847e6866a4115a9393f1d49a28

Kind regards,
Nicholas
