Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [ticket:20250 tordevSZ0]:
 > Having issues using the meek pluggable transports on macOS 10.12
 installation with a fresh install of TorBrowser.

 Are you using the stable release 6.0.5, or the alpha release 6.5a3?

 In the stable 6.0.5, meek is compiled with Go 1.4.3. In the alpha 6.5a3,
 meek is compiled with Go 1.6.3. Go 1.6.3 has
 [https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16354 a fix] for Sierra; Go 1.4.3
 does not have the fix. If this Go bug is the cause, then the alpha release
 may work for you where the stable release does not.

 Note that there is an unrelated bug in the alpha release, #20030, which
 means that you will have to manually kill the firefox and meek-client
 processes after you close the browser.

 Please try the alpha release 6.5a3. If it works for you, that means we
 have to use a newer version of Go to compile the next stable release.
