Comment:
I can't figure out how your broken browser got into the state it is in.
The updater should never update some of the browser files and not other
files.
For the broken browser, do you have a last-update.log file? If one exists,
it should be in `Browser/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo/updates/last-update.log`
For the broken browser, can you try the following in a shell (or similar
commands) when the `app.update.log` preference value is `true`:
cd tor-browser_en-US
mv Browser/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo ~/UpdateInfo-setaside
mv Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/startupCache
~/startupCache-setaside
./start-tor-browser.desktop --log /tmp/tb.log
Then open the about box and let it try to update (including the restart
step).
Then exit the browser and attach the contents of `/tmp/tb.log` to this
ticket (please sanitize to remove paths, etc. if you would like to do so).
Another idea is to find out what files are different between your broken
browser and the one that correctly updated to 8.5. To do that you would
need to do a recursive diff of the two installations.
