 (2019-11-18 11:39:10 AM) pospeselr: perhaps you need to nuke your
 startcupCache ?
 (2019-11-18 11:39:38 AM) pospeselr: doing a full build, and copying
 $out/dist/firefox/* over /Browser gives the right behavior
 (2019-11-18 11:39:57 AM) pospeselr: I could do a full tor-browser-build to
 verify if you like

 I did a nightly tor-browser-build using this patch just to be sure and the
