Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:4 cohosh]:
 > Oh thanks, I misread this and thought it was a webextension problem.
 This could be due to unreliable snowflakes. We just had a huge influx of
 snowflakes from webextension users and we're working out some engineering
 issues that come with a large variety of snowflakes, each with different
 throughputs and connectivity. It's possible you got a less reliable
 snowflake at first. Thanks for letting us know.
 I'm aware about the status quo, but I found it hard to explain what
 happened in terms of unreliable snowflakes since the rest of the
 snowflakes didn't work (even after 4min and 2 browser restars). Maybe an
 extremely unlucky combination of consecutive unreliable snowflakes + this
 bug in Tor: #29245 may explain it. In any case, I'll definitely report
 back if I notice anything similar and you can leave this bug as closed
 meanwhile.
