R4 rc4 Whonix-ws-dvm. Requires repeated tor-browser downloads

[sebuq]

Each time I run the disposable whonix vm [whonix-ws-dvm] I am forced to
go thro' th long-winded procedure of downloading a new tor-browser
instance. Is this by design? or is it a bug?

The tricky part is that you need to run the updater in whonix-ws-dvm
itself, not in a DispVM based on whonix-ws-dvm (which is what happens
when you select it from the application menu).

Try "qvm-run whonix-ws-dvm 'update-torbrowser --input gui'" in dom0,
then shutdown whonix-ws-dvm and you should be able to start the
updated browser from the application menu.
