 I am not very familiar with libevent (used by the tor daemon), but the
 warning message that was logged looks interesting. It seems to indicate
 that use of local TCP sockets may be blocked (but maybe that message is
 not important; I do not know). Is there any chance you can temporarily
 disable your AV/firewall software and then try starting Tor Browser?
