Recovering from Broken Tor Browser Nightly

Hello everyone, Today you may discover that Tor Browser Nightly does not bootstrap tor and only shows the red error page. This is due to on-going work improving the initial bootstrapping experience [0]. Unfortunately, only part of the changes were merged yesterday, and that resulted in the current broken state [1]. As described in [1], the workaround is setting the `TOR_USE_LEGACY_LAUNCHER` environment variable as `1`: `export TOR_USE_LEGACY_LAUNCHER=1` or `TOR_USE_LEGACY_LAUNCHER=1 ./tor-browser_$l/Browser/start-tor-browser` Sorry for the inconvenience. This issue should be resolved tomorrow. [0] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/27476 [1] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-launcher/-/issues/40009
