 is now on version 8.5 but based on firefox version 60.6.1esr - it shows a
 "Restart to update Tor Browser" button, when pressed the tor browser gets
 restarted but with the same version and still showing the same button
 again

 > Huh, yes. That looks broken. You should not be on Tor Browser 8.5 and
 Firefox 60.6.1esr at the same time. If you open `about:config` and set
 `app.update.log` to `true` and check your browser console (Ctrl+Shift+J)
 while doing the update are there any error messages showing up that could
 give some clues about what is going on?

 Another question: what happens if you just close the browser manually and
 then open it again. Does that change things?
