 (I accepted the offered restart to upgrade TB 8.0a10 and it didn't come up
 from alone again, but this is an aside since 8.5a1
 [https://share.riseup.net/#hTGrSevtp2zZD-493OZaPA works well after].)

 When i logged in to trac, firefox tried to access a local snap profile and
 failed. I would not expect it to do that:
 {{{
 (/path/to/tor-browser8.0a10/Browser/firefox.real:20293): dconf-WARNING **:
 23:01:32.166: Unable to open /var/lib/snapd/desktop/dconf/profile/user:
 Permission denied
 }}}
