Comment (by teor):

 This is a Tor Browser bug, and a Tor Launcher bug.

 And the exact behaviour also depends on:
 * if Firefox is installed or not,
   * if installed, which of Tor Browser or Firefox is registered under the
 Firefox 'Bundle creator OS Type code' MOZB (#17670),
 * if Tor Browser is already open or not (that is, whether Tor Launcher or
 Tor Browser handles the open document request), and
 * if Tor Browser or Firefox or some other browser is the default system
 browser.

 We can focus on the Tor Launcher bug in this ticket: Tor Launcher should
 handle the Open Document request, and pass it on to Tor Browser once it
 finishes launching. If it doesn't handle the Open, macOS with Open in the
 default browser instead.
