Comment (by legind):

 Starting the browser with

 {{{
 ./start-tor-browser --verbose
 }}}

 I can now see

 {{{
 Sep 28 02:48:58.000 [warn] Rejecting SOCKS request for anonymous
 connection to private address [scrubbed].
 }}}

 But I don't see that first line.

 I'm also seeing this when I update the {{{manifest.json}}} file in HTTPS
 Everywhere.  Though for both, I see it only on the first time I click
 {{{Check for Updates}}}, not each subsequent time.  Maybe this is due to
 addon update connection throttling?

 Is the presence of these errors really a blocker on moving forward here?
