# Known issues

* Due to [an issue in _Tor Browser_](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24243), the documentation shipped in Tails doesn't open in _Tor Browser_ anymore and lacks our sidebar. The warning page of the _Unsafe Browser_ also lacks graphical design. ([#14962](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/14962))
* Starting Tails 3.3 from DVD takes more than twice as long as earlier releases. ([#14964](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/14964))
