Hi Andreas,

Can you file a Tor Browser ticket on trac, with as much detail as you
can? Especially including which Tor Browser version it was, and what
platform it was for? And what path / where on your system you had
installed it to? And what happened when you tried restarting it?

There appear to be a bunch of recent tickets on update problems with
Tor Browser 6.0a5, e.g.:
https://bugs.torproject.org/18928
https://bugs.torproject.org/18947
https://bugs.torproject.org/18951

But I haven't seen any tickets about Tor Browser 5.5.5 (the stable
release).
