New description:

 I had an update failure due to low disk space that had a cryptic error
 message. All I got was a popup that asked if another copy of Firefox was
 running.

 The last-update.log doesn't seem to have a lot of information, but I am
 attaching it anyway.

Comment:

 I just realized that this was because I was out of disk space, causing
 this. Oddly, instead of a disk space error, I got a popup that said
 another copy of Firefox was running... Once I created enough free space,
 the update applied on the next Tor Browser restart.

 Arguably this is an upstream bug. At least, we should not concern
 ourselves with it now.
