Using the new Tbb within the standard Whonix qube (vm) and the disposable Whonix qube showed the same predilection - the very high value of 15 vs all previous Tbb releases.

And likely the same thing would happen if Tor Browser was tested on (non-Qubes) Debian.

I did not use the Whonix downloader which presently needs to be tweaked for the significantly changed Tbb.

Dedicated forum topic (resolved):

update-torbrowser broken for tor browser 12.0

update-torbrowser is broken in the whonix-ws-16 template as of tor browser 12.0. This problem appears to be due to a Tor project change in URLs. The latest files are now located in the following directories: https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/12.0/ http://scpalcwstkydpa3y7dbpkjs2dtr7zvtvdbyj3dqwkucfrwyixcl5ptqd.onion/torbrowser/12.0/
