New description:

 On Mac OS, when I upgrade to Tor Browser 6.0a5 from an older version, it
 does not go well. After applying the MAR update and restarting, tor is not
 started and Tor Launcher displays this error:
   Unable to start tor
   The Tor executable is missing

 Quitting and restarting a second time seems to fix the problem.
