Comment (by tries):

 CentOS 6, with firefox-60.1.0-6.el6.centos.x86_64

 After extending the LD_LIBRARY_PATH of tor-browser to include the
 libraries bundled with the FF package in CentOS, tor-browser **does start
 and seems to work properly**.

 tor-browser_en-US/Browser/firefox, prepend LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the path
 where CentOS FF has its library bundle. On a 64bit System, this is:

 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib64/firefox/bundled/lib64/:$basedir/TorBrowser/Tor/"

 So tor-browser should include a similar bundle of required resources.
