Comment:

 I think your speculation is correct and I think this is a Tor Browser bug
 and not one of your filesystem. The problem is that on Linux and Windows
 we ship Tor Browser in an easy to delete bundle: you just have to get rid
 of your tor-browser_$YOUR_LOCALE folder an *everything* is gone. Which is
 good. The downside is that the updater copies everything including and
 below the topmost directory, i.e. it touches your profile folder and your
 downloads as well. This has a bunch of negative consequences including the
 one that you describe. We have #18369 for redoing this for Linux. Thus,
 this is a duplicate.
