 > - Platform: Windows 10
 > - Install Mozilla Firefox 70.0 (64-bit)
 > - Install Tor Browser 9.0
 > - Open a Mozilla Firefox window

 > - It opens https://check.torproject.org/ in Firefox instead Tor Browser

 Please open a new bug in case 9.0 is suddenly breaking behavior. That
 said, I just tested your steps and I can't reproduce the issue on a
 Windows 7 machine. The second difference that might be relevant here is
 that I first tested in a 8.5.5 bundle (it worked) and then upgraded that
 one to 9.0 (it still worked). Maybe you used a fresh 9.0 where the problem
 then occurred (although that would be unexpected).

 I am closing this as worksforme now. If the issue continues to be a
 problem, please open a new ticket. Ideally with steps to reproduce that
 allow me to see your bug, too.
