 Replying to [comment:3 cypherpunks]:
 > If this interferes with a system firefox, set a unique $LOGNAME for each
 profile, like "export LOGNAME=tor" before you run start-tor-browser.
 I believe that shouldn't happen anymore since the script passes a
 `--class` argument different than Firefox's.

 Also closing this since the ticket is really old, the bug was fixed long
 ago, and the fix seems to work. Duplicates: #15185 #15370 #9344.
