Comment:

 Bob seems to be happy with it, so let's take it for the alpha (there are
 some "." missing at the end of several sentences in the code but I take
 this nevertheless to finish the 8.5a2 release prep). commit
 62001bb019dbf0956454f8fc550ccc1e81ee8d3c has the fix on `tor-
 browser-60.2.0esr-8.5-1`. Nice work, Richard!

 brade and I do not see any problem with this approach or your patch, but
 it would be reassuring to receive some feedback from the Mozilla

Comment (by pospeselr):

 So after some investigation today, I've figured out where we can insert
 the call that initializes the whitelisted directory paths such that they
 are all initialized correctly:

 Updated patch: https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/richard/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug_26381_v2=10=0=0

 I've also reopened the Mozilla bug since their proposed solution is a non-
 starter, due to the blocking nature of the tor configuration window and
 the updater's dependency on tor to work properly.

 Replying to [comment:31 brade]:

 We think this one is an issue. For example, after applying the proposed
 fix we saw the update service attempt an update ping while the Tor
 Launcher initial configuration window was open.

 This does seem to be a problem, and it doesn't seem like we can fix it in
 the extension.  Went through this today and can confirm, tor-launcher
 blocks on 'profile-after-change' until the network settings dialog is
 dismissed, which allows the update service and what-not to complete after
 a tor connection has been set up.

 I've done some digging into the original proposed patch (moving the
 sandbox init up before DoStartup) and I can confirm that it does configure
 all of the directories correctly, except for the
 NS_APP_USER_PROFILE_50_DIR directory, which will probably cause some
 issues (though it seems to be init'd sometime between the entry into
 DoStartup and the first service initialization in there).  I'll see if we
 can encourage NS_APP_USER_PROFILE_50_DIR to be defined earlier tomorrow.

 Nice find. It seems we need something else here. The two options proposed
 in the Mozilla ticket did not seem to make bobowen happy. Could we cheat
 the startupcache here? It seems getting rid of that one "solves" the
 problem as well (but I have not looked exactly why and whether we might be
 able to just remove the single piece in it that is troubling us)...

Comment (by pospeselr):

 Bob Owen has some issues with this solution, and has suggested having tor-
 launcher init on the 'final-ui-startup' callback, rather than 'profile-
 after-change' (which is what we're doing now).  I'll try this out and see
 how it goes.

Comment:

 With some clues from Bow Owen, I've figured out what's happening and have
 a patch with a potential fix!

 Basically our tor-launcher extension creates a window once tor.exe has
 launched, initialized and signaled back to the tor-launcher extension.
 However, this all can happen before XRE_mainRun completes and makes it to
 SandboxBroker::GeckoDependentInitialize (which is where the static paths
 are initialized).  As a result, these various paths are null, which causes
 SandboxBroker::AddCachedDirs to fail until XRE_mainRun has had a chance to
 catch up.

 The issue goes away if I move the call to
 SandboxBroker::GeckoDependenInitialize to before
 nsXREDirProvider::DoStartup (which is where various services and
 extensions are initialized).  All the child content processes correctly go
 through the SandboxBroker::AddCachedDirs calls, about:tor loads and the
 tab works.

 This patch moves up the call to SandboxBroker::GeckoDependentInitialize()
 and removes the temporary fix that reduced the sandbox level.

 Looks good to me. Cherry-picked the workaround to `tor-
 browser-60.1.0esr-8.0-1` (commit
 b8dcb4f1ab5f06017cee025a2ad35cd17d869679). I guess we can use this ticket
 for track the issue further down, thus setting state back to `new`.

Comment (by scriptCache):

 It affects shitty scriptCache*.bin/urlCache*.bin (what does it cache?!)
 stuff only. They are not created in startupCache folder in *\Desktop
 location. Both 'omni.ja's are mapped successfully, and there is no visible
 problem with tokens (compared to the official build).
 Maybe, some mess with paths/rights in
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1359653?
 (BTW, why does TB have version 60.1.0.6609, but Firefox - 60.1.0.6746?)

Comment (by reportUrl):

 What first comes to mind about sandbox is that `startupCache` and the
 other code could use different path specifications: absolute and relative
 (which uses Shell Folders API for Special Folders). So, when
 content/extensions sandbox restricts file access to the current folder, it
 works for absolute or relative path only.

 FWIW: we opened a ticket in Mozilla's bug tracker
 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1485836). Maybe we can get
 some help that way.

 Delete startupCache, and it will work again (until the next restart).

Comment (by fixtbb):

 Never try to install portable software to "Windows-protected" folders!
 (C:\Program Files, %username%\Desktop, etc)
 (I've had a hard time to reproduce your issue on all my Windows 7-10
 machines, because I never install something to Windows-specific folders
 without a reason.)
 The first error is
 {{{
 08:08:53.543 uncaught exception: Error opening input stream (invalid
 filename?): chrome://browser/content/ext-c-browser.js 1 (unknown)
 }}}
 then there're some from extensions and the last is #27261.
