Comment (by sysrqb):

 This is exactly the type of friction we do not want. Forcing the user
 reinstall (and re-verify) their installation will prevent many users
 upgrading. We could offer an option that resets the tor browser
 preferences to the defaults - but this functionality isn't built into
 Firefox. Unfortunately, cleansing the entire profile is non-trivial due to
 the current design. See #16441 (and #24993, #22528, #19135) for some
 details.
