Why I can't run tor-browser with distrobox?

I download Tor Browser from its official site (neither arch nor aur repo). It works fine, but sometimes when update the system, Tor Browser can't reproduce videos (youtube, vimeo, etc). The problem is that Tor Browser needs old dependencies. I'm searching for a solution for that problem and I think that maybe distrobox can work, but it is not so easy.

I've installed distrobox and created a Debian 11 image but I can't run Tor Browser (TB). I move to the directory where I have TB and use the command for run it: ./start-tor-browser.desktop --detach but nothing happens.

Is there a way to run TB from distrobox? or Is there a way to have TB and see videos when update arch?

Just use the package from the AUR instead, it builds specifically for Arch.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tor-browser
