 Not necessarily.

 Strangely...

 Well, I tested the latest Tor Browser on different platforms and it works
 for me. That's all I can say. Whether we fixed it or anybody else (e.g.
 Mozilla) I don't know. If you think that's worthwhile to investigate feel
 free to do it. I'd be interested to know why this is working now.
