Comment (by mcs):

 I did not follow the steps to reproduce this problem, but it does look
 like permissions changed between Tor Browser 9.0.4 and 9.0.5.

 After mounting TorBrowser-9.0.4-osx64_en-US:
 {{{
 % ls -l Tor\ Browser/Tor\ Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/
 total 210364
 drwxr-xr-x  3 USER  staff       2048 Jan  9 06:44 Tor/
 -rwxr-xr-x  1 USER  staff  100724160 Jan  9 05:08 XUL*
 -rwxr-xr-x  1 USER  staff      36128 Jan  9 05:08 firefox*
 ...
 }}}

 After mounting TorBrowser-9.0.5-osx64_en-US:
 {{{
 ls -l Tor\ Browser/Tor\ Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/
 total 210380
 drwxr-x---  3 USER  staff       2048 Feb 11 11:18 Tor/
 -rwxr-x---  1 USER  staff  100732448 Feb 10 16:43 XUL*
 -rwxr-x---  1 USER  staff      36128 Feb 10 16:43 firefox*
 ...
 }}}

 I am not sure what caused this change though. The fix for #33200 only
 changed the permissions for `bookmarks.html`.

 boklm or sysrqb, any ideas?
