 HELP ME.
 I have the same problem with Windows7 Professional.
 i was using TOR browser for one year. Now my Firefox is 38.0.0.0 and TOR
 brower version is 5.5.5

 And last week my '''Windows closed with Blue screen'''.

 Since then my TOR browser says '''"Could not connect to Tor control
 port"'''. I don't change anything about my anti-virus (ESET) settings and
 any connection settings.

 my torrc file contains
 ''# This file was generated by Tor; if you edit it, comments will not be
 preserved
 # The old torrc file was renamed to torrc.orig.1 or similar, and Tor will
 ignore it
