 When updating Tor Browser 8.5.5 to 9.0 on Debian stretch, the browser does
 not restart after finishing the update. However, it correctly starts when
 manually running the start script again.

 On Debian strech, the bundled `libstdc++.so.6` was not needed with 8.5.5,
 but is needed with 9.0. The wrapper script in `Browser/firefox` is
 supposed to add the directory containing `libstdc++.so.6` to
 `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.

 I am wondering if the updater is restarting the browser using
 `Browser/firefox`, or if it is instead running `Browser/firefox.real`
 (without using the wrapper script).
