Comment:

 The tricky question here is how Tor Browser left behind a tor process.
 Usually tor exits when the controller vanishes as your tor-error.log
 shows:
 {{{
 24 Jan 05 09:27:49.000 [notice] Owning controller connection has closed --
 exiting now.
 ...
 29 This is left runnning after a good run:
 30 =======================================
 31 [jb at r61i ~]$ ps -ef |grep -i tor
 32 jb        1485     1  1 10:29 tty1     00:00:04 /home/jb/Downloads/tor-
 browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/tor ...
 }}}
 Did you possibly set environment variables?
 Does it also happen if you start Tor Browser in the supported way
 described above?
