Comment (by yawning):

 The Tor Browser developer's views on this particular button of doom is
 somewhat contradictory.

  * It was examined in #13346 (because the now disabled error dialog was
 directing people to click on the "destroy your copy of Tor Browser"
 button) and fixed (Yay).

  * It was also encountered in #14118, because the wonderful safemode
 prompt dialog that the Tor Browser developers didn't disable (Boo),
 includes the button of doom, as an alternative to starting Firefox is safe
 mode.

 The better long term approach would be something like #10760, which will
 make the button actually work.  But in the short/medium term, I'm of the
 opinion that it should probably be patched out.
