 At startup of Tor Browser Bundle 2.2.39-5 I got a strange torbutton update
 error message and afterwards Firefox opened with the check.torproject.org
 site which showed my real ip address. According to the button tor was
 disabled though I did not do anything unusual. Strangely this was the
 first time this happened and I used the current version of tbb several
 times already. Now it is working again and I'm not able to reproduce the
 problem.

 Thanks and greetings
