#22598: When updater read fails, About Tor Browser and Quit stop working ------------------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: teor | Owner: tbb-team Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | ------------------------------------------+---------------------- I was running Tor Browser 7.0 on macOS 10.12.
When it tried to update to 7.0.1, org.mozilla.updater[0] temporarily failed to read ~/Library/Application Support/TorBrowser-Data/ due to some security settings I have. When this happened, Tor Browser's "About Tor Browser" and "Quit" menu items stopped working. When I force quit and relaunched Tor Browser, the update worked well, and everything now works fine. But we really shouldn't make the app impossible to quit (or impossible to re-try an update) just because the data directory is read-only.
