I was running Tor Browser 7.0 on macOS 10.12.
When it tried to update to 7.0.1, org.mozilla.updater[0] temporarily
failed to read ~/Library/Application Support/TorBrowser-Data/ due to some
security settings I have.
When this happened, Tor Browser's "About Tor Browser" and "Quit" menu
items stopped working. When I force quit and relaunched Tor Browser, the
update worked well, and everything now works fine.
But we really shouldn't make the app impossible to quit (or impossible to
re-try an update) just because the data directory is read-only.
