Comment:
Some weird things I learned so far:
1) This got introduced with commit
32f9cf56c89ccd2e24924975dc5515e4198d28c3 which fixes #18913.
2) This issue (the one in comment:description) is *not* reproducible
during first start with a clean new bundle. However, starting with the
second start the STR work for me. Digging deeper what prevents the bug to
occur with a clean, new Tor Browser is
{{{
// TBB 5.0a3 users had all the necessary data cached in
// directoryLinks.json. This meant that resetting the pref
above
// alone was not sufficient as the tiles features uses the
cache
// even if the pref indicates that feature should be disabled.
// We flip the preference below as this forces a refetching
which
// effectively results in an empty JSON file due to our
spoofed
// URLs.
let matchOS = m_tb_prefs.getBoolPref("intl.locale.matchOS");
m_tb_prefs.setBoolPref("intl.locale.matchOS", !matchOS);
m_tb_prefs.setBoolPref("intl.locale.matchOS", matchOS);
}}}
which is run in `torbutton.js` on first start.
I am not sure yet how 1) and 2) fit together.
