I also have had trouble starting TOR Browser. I did the following in a terminal: ps -A|egrep tor 232 ? 00:00:05 usb-storage 499 ? 00:00:55 usb-storage 1980 ? 00:00:00 usb-storage 2872 ? 00:22:22 ktorrent 3066 ? 00:00:00 indicator-bluet 3069 ? 00:00:23 indicator-power 3072 ? 00:00:88 tor This is useful iff you are using a linux OS. (For non programmers iff stands for "if and only if".) What has happened is TOR did not close properly in Kubuntu 14.04 Then I did the following: kill -9 3072 At that point it killed off TOR that remained running. After that I was able to restart TOR Browser normally. This happens consistently about 1/3rd of the time. It may not help you, but I am sending this in the off chance it will help. Good luck!
