 Sorry; I missed that important detail.
 I am not sure what is causing this problem for 6.0.5 users who have not
 opened 6.5a3.

 Maybe someone who still has this situation would be willing to enable Tor
 Launcher debugging. This can be done by editing ~/Library/Application
 Support/TorBrowser-Data/*.default/prefs.js using a text editor and adding
 these two lines:
  user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.loglevel", 0);
  user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.logmethod", 0);
 Then starting the browser from a shell like so:
  /Applications/TorBrowser.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
 might provide some interesting `TorLauncher INFO` and `TorLauncher DBUG`
 output.
