Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:1 boklm]:
 > I see that the `mac-sandbox` contains a few references to
 `TorBrowser.app`, in `projects/tor-browser/Bundle-Data/mac-sandbox/`.

 The Mac sandbox has been non-functional since the first ESR52-based
 release (due to the addition of content sandboxing on macOS). We should
 remove it until we can devote engineering time to application sandboxing.

 Regarding the general question of "Tor Browser.app" vs. "TorBrowser.app",
 I think we should add the space. This should not affect updates, since the
 .app can already be renamed by users to anything they like. The only thing
 that worries me is that Mozilla encountered some issues (but possibly
 unrelated) after they added a space to "Firefox Nightly". See
