@kjozwiak I can reproduce this on Linux. This is an issue because the option available in hamburger menu. Until Tor binaries are downloaded the Tor Window options is not shown on profile icon which is correct. Because we have the option to launch a Tor window from hamburger menu it creates a Tor window without the binaries downloaded completely. Thats why even after Tor binaries are downloaded it doesn’t work until browser is restarted. Ideal behaviour should be show Tor window option in hamburger menu only after Tor binaries are downloaded.

I used keyboard shortcuts to reproduce the issue as it works quicker than using the hamburger menu.

On Muon we had the progress indicator to stop users loading a site without Tor binaries being completely downloaded. So either bring back the progess indicator in URL or just hide the option until its downloaded. My vote would be to hide the option(everywhere hamburger/file menu/keyboard shortcuts) until binaries are downloaded fully
