* status: needs_review => needs_information Comment: I can't figure out how your broken browser got into the state it is in. The updater should never update some of the browser files and not other files. For the broken browser, do you have a last-update.log file? If one exists, it should be in `Browser/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo/updates/last-update.log` For the broken browser, can you try the following in a shell (or similar commands) when the `app.update.log` preference value is `true`: cd tor-browser_en-US mv Browser/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo ~/UpdateInfo-setaside mv Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/startupCache ~/startupCache-setaside ./start-tor-browser.desktop --log /tmp/tb.log Then open the about box and let it try to update (including the restart step). Then exit the browser and attach the contents of `/tmp/tb.log` to this ticket (please sanitize to remove paths, etc. if you would like to do so). Another idea is to find out what files are different between your broken browser and the one that correctly updated to 8.5. To do that you would need to do a recursive diff of the two installations. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30565#comment:24> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
