Comment (by mcs):
Kathy and I cannot reproduce the crash, but any action that causes the
browser profile to be renamed or moved breaks things. The specific problem
which we observed on both macOS and Linux is that Torbutton and Tor
Launcher are not loaded after a rename or move.
A workaround is to delete the `extensions.json` file, which contains full
paths. Probably that file is supposed to be recreated automatically when
the profile is moved. Webextensions do not seem to suffer the same fate
even though extensions.json contains their paths as well (which are
outdated after the profile move).
