Comment (by gk):

 As I said it turned out that TorLauncher (and HTTPS-Everywhere) were not
 loaded when Tor Browser started (about:addons only showed NoScript and
 Torbutton). But at least TorLauncher was still in the profile dir (in
 extensions/). Then, she/he really downloaded our bundle, the sha256sum
 matched. The log on start-up showed only something like
 {{{
 Launching Tor Browser Bundle for Linux in /path-to-tbb/tor-browser_en-US
 (process:3815): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion
 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
 }}}
 And the error console showed only the error wrt the Disk Space Watcher
 service (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=895964).

 She/he is still in #tor to help us in case we have some debug builds to
 test. I currently lack ideas of smart ways to debug this. Maybe a try-
 catch block around every component to be sure to catch all exceptions? Or
 do you have something better in mind?
