Comment (by gk):

 Alright we had a user on IRC today and we looked closer at it. The .dmgs
 were not corrupted during download and, yes, as far as I understand it the
 error happens as soon as Tor Browser gets opened.

 Trying to figure something out on the commandline with `hdiutil attach
 -verbose TorBrowser-8.5.1-osx64_nl.dmg` gives:
 {{{

 image has no band size specified. Attaching… Error 112 (no mountable
 file systems). Finishing… DIHLDiskImageAttach() returned 112
 hdiutil: attach failed - no mountable file systems
 }}}
 Then we tried to get things running on an USB stick with minimum security
 but still no dice.
 {{{
 Use right click "Open With" - "DiskImageMounter (default) to start
 mounting dmg files. Same issue again via usb Did this action via Finder
 and PathFinder
 }}}
 Then I pointed to https://superuser.com/questions/19426/im-unable-to-
 mount-a-dmg-getting-a-no-mountable-filesystems-error
 here is what happened:
 {{{
 I first followed the lines in Terminal as follows
 `hdiutil attach -noverify -nomount TorBrowser-8.5.1-osx64_en-US.dmg`
  feedback Terminal in my case /dev/disk7
 Then I entered in Terminal diskutil list
 That shows me indeed all the drives as well as disk7
 Then Terminal command diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk7
 Feedback Terminal -> Volume(s) mounted successfully
 So it all seems OK, but it wasn't yet sine there was nothing mounted. Then
 I went to Disk Utility and follow the article to the moment . to this
 paragraph ->
 I ran into a similar situation. I did what simonair suggested and I
 received a message in Terminal that Volume mounted successfully. However
 It did not help me access the mounted Volume neither was I
 able to confirm the mounted Volume. Nor was I able to mount the image
 using Disk Drill or even scan through. Nothing succeeded.
 Then there's a long paragraph telling to make a new image of the Tor
 Browser which seems not to be active thus Disk Utility - File - New Image
 - Image from tor browser. I kept all default values and it was made. Only
 thing I don't understand it what the file size is now 154MB, but besides
 that 
 I clicked the newly created tor browser and now it opened without a fault
 message
 Copied the Tor to Applications, started Tor and it works flawless
 }}}
 So, recreating the image locally seems to solve this. This is a bit
 inconvenient but looking at the StackExchange article it seems this is not
 a Tor Browser (only) issue as a bunch of different .dmg images are
 affected.

 Should we declare victory here and just add an item to our browser
 FAQs/support pages? I am not too famiilar with macOS but this seems more
 like an macOS issue to me than something to fix on our turf.

Comment:

 When does this error message appear? As soon as you try to open the Tor
 Browser .dmg file?

 I have a very fuzzy memory of a similar problem from several years ago.
 Usually this means that the downloaded DMG is corrupt. Please check the
 checksum. Also, the following articles might provide some useful ideas:
