 After upgrade, Tor browser restarts, and the new Tor windows show up as
 Firefox windows. This is confusing and possibly dangerous, because the
 user cannot distinguish between secure Tor and insecure Firefox! This is
 fixed by restarting Tor. Running 7.0.9 (based on Mozilla Firefox 52.4.1)
 (64-bit)
