Hmm, this shouldn't happen. Can you send me the tor log?

Doesn’t say much really.
If you manually kill TorBrowser.app.meek-http-helper, does it come back
when you start Tor Browser again?
I can’t even find it in the process list inside the Activity Monitor (see attached). I also tried $ ps -ax | grep meek and nothing showed up.
