New description:

 We should be proactive and warn users of installing Tor Browser 52 on
 Windows machines not capable of SSE 2. See:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1271759 installer adaptions
 Mozilla made. We can check that in our Linux start script later with the
 advent of ESR 59 based Tor Browsers as well (see: comment:2:ticket:19316).
