> We don't do too much to change the way the updater works in terms of
processes and file access, so this is likely a Firefox bug. How can I
reproduce it? Do you have special software that prevents new binaries from
accessing files? Or is this something I can reproduce use macOS settings?
Here are three possible ways to reproduce issues like this:
1. use FSecure XFence (used to be called Little Flocker) to deny access to
files
2. install Tor Browser as an admin user, but open it as a non-admin user
3. do 2, but also turn on macOS parental controls, and allow Tor Browser
4. do 2, but also turn on macOS parental controls, and don't allow Tor
Browser
You will get a range of interesting errors.
