That's surprising. I just tested it with a fresh Tor Browser
installation on 64-bit Linux and it worked without an error. A couple

- What version of Tor Browser are you using?
- Press the Alt key, then select the Help menu at the top, then click About Tor Browser
- Did you already try restarting your computer and trying again?
