Weird. What extra information can be provided?

You could try tor-browser without the systems current video driver running and start xorg with x11-drivers/xf86-video-scfb instead.

Reading through the bug report it could be video driver related.

I have no problem running Tor browser on my system with graphics/drm-510-kmod (amdgpu) or x11-drivers/xf86-video-scfb, including running it in a (bhyve(8)) VM.

/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/scfb.conf
Code: 
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver     "scfb"
EndSection
Try without a WM or DE: startx /usr/local/bin/tor-browser

The same idea came into my mind that it could be somehow related to the specific video driver. Another question is, if this is a video driver bug or Tor browser bug. Everything else is working, including Firefox and Chromium browsers.

The picture is the same as Argentum.
# pciconf -lv | grep -B4 VGA
Code: 
vgapci0@pci0:0:1:0:    class=0x030000 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1002 device=0x9830 subvendor=0x1043 subdevice=0x8623
    vendor     = 'Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]'
    device     = 'Kabini [Radeon HD 8400 / R3 Series]'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA
 
Yes, they haven't fixed it yet. Some of my work has stopped because of this incident... we have to wait. The temporary solution on VPN in the browser is inconvenient and flawed.
 
Yes, I understand. I need to be patient and wait. My work has also stopped, and as for vpn in the browser, it is not an option for me....

I've just updated to version 13.5.a9_5, but unfortunately, the same issue persists—the browser output is displayed in a small rectangle, making it impossible to use. The previous version (13.5.a9_4) had the same behavior, so the update didn’t resolve the issue. Installation and compilation go smoothly, but the visual bug remains.

Again, updated from ports to tor-browser-13.5.a9_6 but the bug remains.

As far as I know, the latest version of tor-browser is currently 14.0.1. Ports and packages version 13.5.a9_3 and 13.5.a9_4 (quarterly and latest).
The latest version is not available in ports or packages...I think it's important to have the latest version, with security supports, for security reasons.....Can someone explain to me what happened? This app is completely unusable...

New tor-browser-14.0.1 appeared in ports tree. Rebuilt and the TOR browser is working now. The issue is solved. :)

That's cool to hear, but still tor in package is on 13.5.a9_6 version (in latest).
Therefore, this package cannot be used until this time. And I have no desire to compile from ports and mix packages with pkg.
 
Same issue here. I'm just adding to the thread so that I'm more likely to notice when someone reports a change in packages. (I'm on latest rather than quarterly for packages).
 
I was the same first i thought is the letter boxing feature cause the problem. Now i know its not just me having this problem.
 
Today I switched from Quarterly to Latest Ports Branches because I don't want to wait until January for the new version of Tor to hit Quarterly. So after switching and updating the packages, the tor browser started working as it should. Thanks to everyone who helped fix this issue.
