Comment (by cypherpunks):

 i did not have any problem in 8.x. issue appeared for me in 9.x when
 running a control port at 9150 (i.e. from another tbb profile) and using
 another tbb profile with extensions.torlauncher.start_tor=false. problem
 lies somewhere in tor-circuit-display.js/tor-control-port.js when trying
 to communicate with a control port it has no access to

 extensions.torbutton.display_circuit=false as workaround

 hope this is useful gk
