I’ve been attempting to install tor browser on secureblue. At every turn something has prevented it from launching. so far best I can tell its a userns problem, but even the ujust command to enable that has not fixed it. I would really love advice about this. if I cannot use tor browser on this os it is practically unusable to me.
Did you disable hardened_malloc for Tor only?
AFAIK it doesn’t play well with Firefox

If Firefox is built with --enable-replace-malloc it would work.

flatpak install https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher.flatpakref
flatpak --user override --env=LD_PRELOAD= org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher

You would still run into the same problem and have to remove LD_PRELOAD from the Flatpak.

Running Tor Browser with a weakened sandbox due to Flatpak is not a good option. Better layer it.
Better to just run Tails in a VM?
but then you’d have to ujust with-standard-malloc tor-browser-launcher in a terminal each and every time
Have you thought about using Whonix via virt-manager?
If that is a bit too much work for you, you can also use Gnome Boxes or Distro Box to run Tor Browser in just about any Linux distribution you want within SecureBlue
