Comment:

 Replying to [comment:6 gk]:
 > Hm. Why should that be "won't fix"? Isn't this bug something we should
 fix (eventually) given that it is confusing and is leading to unexpected
 behavior (imagine the user has forgotten that they opened Tor Browser that
 way and is wondering now why normal browsing is not working)?

 The scenario you describe is possible, yes. I think I was a little too
 quick to move toward "won't fix." My reason was that (1) we do not know
 how to fix this problem right now and (2) it seems like an issue that will
 be rare (I assume most people open Tor Browser after they download it and
 do not delete their TorBrowser-Data directory). But you are right, we
 should keep this ticket open in the hope that we will eventually find time
 to fix it.
