+The new Tor Browser releases were again prevented to work properly by
+WebRoot Internet Security. The error message is “Couldn't load XPCOM”.
+Users need to disable WebRoot, whitelist the appropriate Tor Browser
+files, and more importantly to contact WebRoot support to warn them
+that their product is breaking the Tor Browser and, to the best of Tor
+support's knowledge, Firefox stable releases. Ideally, WebRoot should
+test new releases before harming Tor users. See #11268 [XXX] if you want
