Comment:

 I also have this problem.  Tor was running beautifully for me yesterday.
 I finally decided to upgrade, so I downloaded & installed TorBundle
 TorBrowser-2.2.38-2-osx-x86_64-en-US.  Now when I start TorBrowser_en-
 US.app, Vidalia starts up like normal.  The Tor icon goes green.  Then I
 get "firefox-bin quit unexpectely."  Tor is still up; I just can't get to
 a browser.

 OSX 10.5.8
 FF14.0.1 is installed (if that is relevant at all)

 Logs say:
 Sep 01 10:49:38.427 [Notice] Tor v0.2.2.38 (git-49d150a9fad2cb8d). This is

 like client functionality is working.
 Sep 01 10:49:49.433 [Notice] Bootstrapped 100%: Done.

 On the Mac Console I get:
 **********************9/1/12 11:04:19 AM
 [0x0-0x19c19c].org.mozilla.firefox[2031]   restoring member tabs = 19
 9/1/12 11:07:30 AM ReportCrash[2058] Formulating crash report for process

 -110730_xxxxxxs-computer.crash using uid: 501 gid: 501, euid: 501 egid:
 501

 See the line with all the *** in front of it.  So for some reason it's
 trying to restore my normal Firefox profile with my existing tabs.
 Shouldn't it be opening up a different instance of Firfox ("Aurora") with
 a different profile?
