#27291: about:tor not loading on Windows en-US

This is somewhat similar to #26381, but may be a separate issue or even
related to #27261.
When I downloaded a fresh Tor Browser, the first time about:tor loaded
fine. The second time, it did not load and I see the following error in
the browser console:
{{{
NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED: Component returned failure code: 0x80520015
(NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIWebNavigation.loadURIWithOptions]
browser-child.js:359
}}}
Then if I remove NoScript and HTTPS-E xpis from the extensions directory
under profile.default, and restart the browser, about:tor loads properly
again. If I add back either of those xpis, and restart the browser
*twice*, the second time about:tor fails to load and I see the above error
message again.
If I keep NoScript and HTTPS-E in the extensions directory but remove tor-
launcher xpi, then I also see about:tor loads correctly.
So there seems to be some weird interaction between tor-launcher and
NoScript/HTTPS-E. Perhaps all three tickets (this one, #26381, #27261)
have the same underlying cause?
