Comment (by sysrqb):

 It seems this is solved after disabling "Clear private data on exit"
 entries (Settings -> Privacy -> Clear private data on exit -> (uncheck
 Open tabs)).

 The new behavior is interesting. After bootstrapping completes, I see an
 error page (because the initial page load failed...because tor wasn't
 bootstrapped). Next, the page reload automatically because we force this
 after bootstrapping completes.

 1. I think we should re-consider our decision on implementing this hack at
 startup from #28507
 1. The UX is a little ugly because it tries loading the page when tor
 isn't running. I wonder if we can easily delay the load until after
 bootstrap completes.
