Comment (by mcs):

 For non-en-US users who already updated to 9.5a6, using a text editor to
 add the following line to `prefs.js` allows the browser to start up
 correctly:
  user_pref("intl.locale.requested", "en-US");
 (tested on macOS, but should work on all of our desktop platforms). This
 will allow people to update to 9.5a7, after which they can remove that
 line from their `prefs.js` and go back to enjoying Tor Browser in their
 favorite language.
