# Known issues
* The Unsafe Browser cannot connect to the Internet ([ticket #6479](
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6479)). This can be workaround'ed by setting `network.proxy.socks_remote_dns` to `false` on the about:config web page.
* Keyboard shortcuts use QWERTY mapping instead of AZERTY on French keyboard ([ticket #6478](
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6478)). This may impact other keyboard layouts as well.
* TorBrowser takes too long to shutdown ([ticket #6480](
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6480)).
* TorBrowser proposes to share the microphone with websites ([ticket #6481](
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6481)).
* htpdate uses a different User-Agent than the Tor Browser ([ticket #6477](
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6477)).
* The included Linux 3.10-3 (version 3.10.11-1) kernel has a few known security issues.
* [Longstanding](
