on Debian wheezy only tor version version 6.5 will connect. All newer versions will not connect, with bridges, obfuscated or any other way. Error log as follows:

rm -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/TorBrowser-Data

worked for me on macOS.

As noted on torproject.org

DataDirectory DIR

Store working data in DIR. Can not be changed while tor is running. (Default: ~/.tor if your home directory is not /; otherwise, @LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor. On Windows, the default is your ApplicationData folder.)

So on Linux one of the following might work;

rm -r ~/.tor
rm -r ~/.tor-browser-en
rm -r /usr/local/var/lib/tor
