Comment (by rollback-question):

 thanks for looking into it. the config changes i've done after the initial
 install are:

 in Browser Privacy:

 Forms & Passwords
 X Remember logins and passwords for websites (selected)

 History
 Tor browser will Remember history

 Accept cookies and site data from websites
 Keep until I close Tor Browser
 Accept third-party cookies and site data Never

 Security Level Safest

 in General:

 When Tor Browser starts
 Show your windows and tabs from last time

 then in about:config -> javascript.enabled set to false
 i also changed recently xpinstall.signatures.required to false due to the
 well known issue of the addons getting disabled

 i think that is all i have changed. i'll try to install the previous
 version 8.0.9 in a separate directory later today and copy the contents of
 Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default over to see if i can roll
 back and have everything working again. i hope this is safe and all
 "customized" data including passwords and history are recovered
