 Where do you have Tor Browser installed? In your /Applications directory?
 If so can you make a copy of your `TorBrowser-Data` folder (you can find
 it with the help shown in comment:8:ticket:20300) for further
 inspection/bookmark backups? If you have done so, removing that folder
 while Tor Browser is shut down and restarting it might solve your issue.
 It would probably be super helpful if you could follow the steps in
 comment:11:ticket:20300 and report that output back. We see at a glance
 what is wrong with your Tor Browser then.
