Comment (by teor):

 I had Tor Browser selected as my default browser (links automatically open
 in it). When I updated to Tor Browser 7.0, it stopped being my default
 browser, because the creator code changed due to this patch (or possibly
 #21723).

 This is what we expected to happen, but I thought I'd make a note here in
 case anyone reports this issue. Once users set 7.0 as the default browser,
 it will stay as the default, and it won't get confused with Firefox.
