Comment (by pospeselr):

 So after some investigation today, I've figured out where we can insert
 the call that initializes the whitelisted directory paths such that they
 are all initialized correctly:

 Updated patch: https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/richard/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug_26381_v2&context=10&ignorews=0&dt=0

 I've also reopened the Mozilla bug since their proposed solution is a non-
 starter, due to the blocking nature of the tor configuration window and
 the updater's dependency on tor to work properly.
