Hi Chris!

Well spotted, thanks!

If you can ever reproduce the problem, please:

1. Edit /etc/apparmor.d/torbrowser.Tor.tor and replace:

     owner @{HOME}/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/{i686,x86_64}/tor-browser_*/{Browser/TorBrowser/,}Data/Tor/ r,

   with:

     owner @{HOME}/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/{i686,x86_64}/tor-browser_*/{Browser/TorBrowser/,}Data/Tor/ rw,

2. sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/torbrowser.Tor.tor

3. Restart Tor Browser.

But I guess that this bug won't come back now that you've cleared
.local/share/torbrowser, so I'll go ahead and submit this
change upstream.

Cheers!
