Comment (by mcs):

 Testing on Mac OS with a "standalone" tor-browser-38.1.0esr-5.0-1 build
 (tree updated today), I am able to reproduce what Mike saw.  I can see
 that a second firefox process is started (which uses a
 'chrome_debugger_profile' profile), but I just see a blank/empty window
 like Mike did.

 I am not sure if this is helpful or not, but the command line for the
 'debugger browser' is:

   /Users/.../dev/tor/tor-browser/x/TorBrowser.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
 -no-remote -foreground -profile /Users/.../dev/tor/tor-
 browser/x/TorBrowser.app/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/Caches/24f48hfn.default/chrome_debugger_profile
 -chrome chrome://browser/content/devtools/framework/toolbox-process-
 window.xul -purgecaches
