Precisely my point, for those who'd argue it should occur ONLY in a test environment. There is no argument to be made. If that process wholly worked, we'd never encounter bugs in software, issues with our automobiles, and so on. The test environment would always catch these issues, right? Clearly they don't. Stating otherwise defies even basic logic.

I have been having issues using TOR browser to log in several times. I get the little bar in the upper right scanning and then nothing. Have to open the link to log in in another tab and then I can log in.
Don't know if it's a TOR browser issue, xenforo or a combination of both.
And before others chime in, I use TOR browser as a preference and do not have a desire to change it as I am used to it.

You having this issue with all xenforo sites or just this one? Is it since 2.3 or always?
Could be that XFcom blocks tor as a spam measure.

Just this one and since the last several days. Every now and then when it keeps happening I can choose a new circuit and it might work.
It is easier clicking on the login link to open in a new tab. Does not happen on my site or the site I am staff on.
I will try to use the developer tools next time it happens. Usually I just want to log in.
Could it be an IP range or country block that Tor is using?

If it was then it would affect the entire site I would think and not just one process.
This is true. I'm out of options then

Unless it's changed, CloudFlare does not always place nice with Tor Browser. Normally it was just endless captcha requests, but could also possibly explain issue he's having.

Search doesn't appear to be working correctly, at least not on my newest site running 2.3 - examples below:
This thread is listed in a forum:
If I search for Bandit Biscuits:
I get this:
Various combinations offer up the same result.
This happens for anything in the forum, however the results are inconsistent as 'sometimes' it works depending on where I am and what I am searching for. Even advanced search returns the same results. I've also rebuilt the search index numerous times without success.
I'm wondering if this is unique to my site, or whether anyone else is experiencing the same issue - I do not have elastic search as I'm on shared hosting; also I'm running on MariaDB.
Everything else is working so far without issue, barring the obvious in terms of themes and some add-ons.
Suggestions?

If you continue to experience issues please post a bug report with as much info as possible including OS and browser version. Such issues should not be discussed in threads like this.

ok
thought this was a feedback area but if you think it may be a bug can report there.
was not sure if it could be the TOR browser or XF. TOR browser can interact funny on some sites.

This kinda sux TBH. I understand the want to drop jQuery but it is a bit of a pain.
Some addons use scripts for which there are no full-fledged open source alternatives like sortable.js and lightSlider as an example.
Also XF JS core lacks many of the useful utils
With native JS we will have to add this to every add-on or make a core add-on that they will depend on. (don't like it, it's hard to maintain).
XF bundles Fancyapps Carousel as a replacement for lightSlider (including a backwards-compatible
I haven't run into a shortage of vanilla JS libraries, personally. I don't find the native JS APIs to be especially cumbersome, and I think our library covers the gap for the most common deficits (though I respect others feel differently). If you feel there's anything particularly important missing do let us know.
