 more annoyingly, this issue can only be diagnosed by running `Browser
 /start-tor-browser --verbose`. `./start-tor-browser.desktop` and `Browser
 /start-tor-browser` simply output nothing.

 I downloaded stock Firefox ESR 52.8.0 and ran it with `-P
 non_default_profile -no-remote` and it started with no issues. it comes
 with both "libmozgtk.so" and "gtk2/libmozgtk.so" which I assume helps.
