 Less than ten hours ago, I was still able to execute sandboxed-tor-
 browser, and it would run as expected.

 When I now try the same, I get a popup window with this error message:
 "Failed to launch Tor Browser: Server provided a downgrade: '7.0a3'"

 The installed version is 7.0a2, so it seems the launcher/updater fails to
 parse the version number correctly.
