Comment(by rransom):

 I had already toggled Torbutton in the TBB I had been using.  In a newly
 extracted TBB, Torbutton shows 'Tor Enabled' in the status bar, but the
 code that Torbutton is supposed to run when it becomes enabled has never
 been run.  Toggling Torbutton off, then on, in an instance of TBB is
 sufficient to configure it properly, but most users will not have done
 that.

 katmagic suggested checking the value of `network.dns.disablePrefetch`;
 Torbutton set it to `true` in my used TBB, but it is not present in
 about:config in my new TBB.  At this point, `geo.enabled=true` is probably
 the least serious problem in TBB.

 katmagic also confirmed that this problem is present in TBB for Linux.
