 TorBrowser-9.0a works fine on Windows, but on OSX 10.11.6, with
 TorBrowser-8.5.4-osx64 I have deleted everything, removed NoScript, set
 enable all cookies, turned Private Mode off, and when I click Login
 Disqus, after many, many Captchas I get logged in on the login tab and
 returned to the comment tab, where I am not logged in. If I click Login
 Disqus again, I do not see the login tab, it goes there, sees I'm logged
 in on the login tab, and returns me to the comment tab (none of which
 shows on the screen, I just see the comment tab) where I am not logged in.

 I still have a copy of TorBrowser 7.5.6, where I can comment on Disqus. I
 think I could comment on TorBrowser 8.4 (but TorBrowser 8.4 knows not to
 let me install it, since a newer version is available). But on TorBrowser
 8.5.4, no matter what I do, the Disqus login tab cannot communicate with
 the Disqus comment tab, and likewise TorBrowser-9.0a on OSX 10.11.6
