 Since over a week, it's been impossible for me to launch the Tor Browser.
 Whenever I open the application, I get the error message "Tor Launcher:
 Could not connect to Tor control port." In the meantime, the progress bar
 on the Tor Status box that pops up when opening stays without progress.

 I'm using Max OSX 10.11.6, I've deleted and reinstalled Tor to make sure
 am with the latest version (V6.0.5), and I've checked that I have no
 firewall active.

 I've looked at some of the other similar issues but answers mentioned what
 looked like coding which doesn't seem right for this, surely it should
 just open when being launched...? I've been using Tor without problems for
 almost a year, so no idea why this started all of a sudden.

 Can anyone help?

 Many thanks
