 To reproduce this error, launch Tor Browser from behind a captive portal
 for which you haven't yet agreed to the terms. A window pops up reporting
 a tor error with the phrase "identity mismatch". Clicking through it will
 lead to a new window for "Tor failed to launch". Clicking through that
 will bring you back to the error window for "identity mismatch". This
 unending parade of error windows will continue even if one disconnects
 from the network. It is impossible to close Tor Browser at this point
 without sending a SIGKILL.
