How do you configure Tor Browser to stop looking for the Tor Connection?

Hi, I'm using Tor Browser to surf I2P as I believe it has many privacy and anonymity benefits for internet browsing.
But if I want to use Tor AND I2P Together, they will cancel themselves out with my I2P profile automatically not working with Tor being prioritized over I2P.
How can I fix this?

Until then though, it should be clear: I'm very opposed to "keeping things apolitical", because keeping things apolitical/ trying to have a (false!) balance is taking sides and is political: it sides with the oppressors So LibreWolf should definitely be considered a "very woke"
and certainly quite political project, where queer- and
transphobia, racism, ableism, antivax stuff, etc. are not
tolerated. I'lI gladly see a hundred racist people be pissed
and leave if that makes only a single person from a
disadvantaged/minority group feel safer.

To be honest, I would much rather use a software project that focused on software rather than politics.
Mozilla spent upwards of thousands of dollars in donating to political causes in 2023. This is not something that Improves Firefox or Thunderbird as a
software. This is why I switched to Ablaze Floorp.

How do we know this quote came from LibreWolfe?

Well, we know that ofph is basically a leader for the LibreWolf project as ofph is:
1: The Project Admin
2: A very old maintainer for Librewolf
3: a huge contributor to the project alongside Malte Jürgens and Bert van der Weerd
4: ohfp's profile is listed on
https://librewolf.net/ with ohfp's Codeberg (eww..) linked on the site. (
https://codeberg.org/ohfp).

Why are the maintainer's political beliefs relevant in this context?

Thousands of people are already watching this chatter (3100 Views!) and perhaps they are wondering how something like this can happen without opposition. In I2P, the politically motivated network for a better world, not just for file-sharers. One person copies what he has picked up somewhere, assumes that the original author has a spelling weakness, changes what he has written by omitting and adding emphasis without making this clear. And so that nobody can check this and understand the context from which the quote was torn, he refuses to name the source (or is simply too stupid to find it on his own) and instead says some nonsense. The other one is obviously satisfied with the answer and tries to drive the game even further into ridicule, hopefully not unconsciously. (If you use Emacs, you can get the answer in advance with "M-x doctor".)

To answer the actual question.
Edit the Tor Browser about:config (network.proxy.socks and maybe a few other settings), use Palemoon
https://www.palemoon.org/, or Basilsik
