 I get an error message: "Failed to launch Tor Browser: dial unix
 ~/.local/share/sandboxed-tor-browser/tor/control: connect: connection
 refused" on launch. Clicking OK shows the configuration UI but then
 clicking connect gives the first error message again ("failed to
 launch....").


 the terminal reports:
 [notice] DisableNetwork is set. Tor will not make or accept non-control
 network connections. Shutting down all existing connections.
 [warn] It looks like another Tor process is running with the same data
 directory.  Waiting 5 seconds to see if it goes away.
 [err] No, it's still there.  Exiting.
