Comment (by Thorin):

 I'll piggyback on this ticket

 > STOP BLINDING US BY POPPING OUT A HUGE WHITE WINDOW WHILE CONNECTING TO
 TOR!!! GO BACK TO THE OLD WAY... FIRST YOU CONNECT TO TOR. THEN OPEN A
 NORMAL LOOKING PURPLE COLORED WINDOW.
 >
 > TAKE WHITE WINDOW BACK!!!

 I notice this with AFAICT 100% reliability on non en-US builds (on
 windows). I currently have 31 non en-US alphas here (all set to spoof
 english: but I doubt that makes a difference). It does not happen on en-US
 builds. So there's definitely something going on with languages.

 FYI: setting `browser.startup.blankWindow` = `false` (default true) fixes
 this: but I don't know if that will introduce more problems vs fixing
 something cosmetic. +1 for Arthur's 3rd proposal
