I don’t know any guide, it’s easy. Use https://github.com/bekh6ex/firefox-container-proxy if you trust this add-on maintainers, then install tor and run it with
sudo systemctl start tor
(if you have a distro with systemd). Configure the proxy to uselocalhost:9050
which is Tor network proxy. You can use Tor network on terminal with the packagetorsocks
like SSH via Tortorsocks ssh user@host.com -p 1234
Thanks for the info! I am using Windows, but I downloaded the extension and tor zip for advanced Windows on their site. Created a torrc file and set it to the localhost:9050 and created a “tor” container. And just tested it with the check.torproject.org site (both with a normal tab and a “tor” container tab) with success! Good to know random things that might be very worth knowing.
