How to open local file or url in Tor browser?

Question

I've just installed Tor-browser and I want to make it default system browser but can't because it can't do simple things like opening local files or urls.

When I enter in terminal:

torbrowser-launcher duck.com

It opens the browser on the default page and ignore my url, but torbrowser-launcher --help say:

usage: torbrowser-launcher [-h] [--settings] [url [url ...]]
positional arguments:
  url         URL to load

I've tried torbrowser-launcher url duck.com but it also doesn't work.

Does this answer your question? Set Tor Browser as default browser? — graham, Aug 01 '21 at 16:48
No, my question is not how to set default browser. I want to know how to open files and urls from terminal or file manager. I can do this easily with Firefox or Chrome, but not with Tor. — luarocks, Aug 01 '21 at 17:00

Give up the absolute path for "start-tor-browser" with --detach followed by URL

Something like;

'../tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser' --detach www.example.com
