Tor Browser Starter - BASH_COMMAND: bash -n "$i" exit_code: 126 bash: /etc/torbrowser.d/50_user.conf: Permission denied

Thanks! Confirmed!

Cause:

bash -n /etc/torbrowser.d/50_user.conf
bash: /etc/torbrowser.d/50_user.conf: Permission denied

This is due to:

change default umask

The umask is what sets the default permissions for newly created files. Whonix has this set to 022 which gives read access to every user on the system for newly created files. 077 is recommended as it makes newly created files not readable by anyone other than the owner. You can set the umask with the umask command. To set it as 077 by default, add umask 077 to /etc/profile and/or shell configuration files e.g. /etc/bash.bashrc. It may be useful to add this to Whonix to prevent ordinary users …

Workaround.

sudo chmod o+r /etc/torbrowser.d/50_user.conf

Will work on a fix.
