Comment (by rollback-question):

 i've set app.update.log to true but unlike with the second TBB that works
 fine and shows the console i can't open the browser console with
 Ctrl+Shift+J on the first TBB that is broken. it does not appear  in Tools
 - Web Developer either, i only see Page Source there and nothing else.
 i've searched for update logs and found the following in
 Browser/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo/updates/0/

 - TBB 1 (first upgraded, the broken one, left screen capture)

 $ ls -al Browser/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo/updates/0
 total 11116

 -rw-r--r-- 1 <USER> <GROUP>         10 may 21 20:15 update.status
 -rw-r--r-- 1 <USER> <GROUP>          4 may 21 16:23 update.version

 $ cat Browser/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo/updates/0/update.status
 succeeded

 update.log - does not show any errors, but i'll attach it anyway since
 it's the only log i can find


 - TBB 2 (last upgraded, the working one, right screen capture)

 $ ls -al Browser/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo/updates/0
 total 11108
 drwxr-xr-x 2 <USER> <GROUP>       4096 may 21 21:41 .

 -rw-r--r-- 1 <USER> <GROUP>        689 may 21 21:41 updater.ini
 -rw-r--r-- 1 <USER> <GROUP>       2153 may 21 21:41 updater.png
 -rw-r--r-- 1 <USER> <GROUP>          8 may 21 21:41 update.status
 -rw-r--r-- 1 <USER> <GROUP>          4 may 21 21:26 update.version

 $ cat Browser/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo/updates/0/update.status
 applying

 there is no update.log

 somehow the broken one says "succeded" and the working one "applying". i
 don't know what else to look for or how to make the browser console appear
 in the broken one :/

 if i close the browser manually and open it again it is still the same,
 only the "About Tor" tab appears (as shown in the screen capture from
 yesterday) but it doesn't fix it. i've tried deleting all /tmp files, just
 in case, and rebooting, but it's still the same
