When I get it to work (see below) it comes up in 2-4 minutes, when it fails 
there are a few different results

1) Try to run tor from teminal, it reports that port 9050 is in use and "is tor 
already running"

Then after Killall tor

2) Try to run torbrowser from teminal, it reports "Loading local keyring" that 
never seems to end (only waited upto an 1/2 hour) Ctrl+C to stop

3) Try to run torbrowser from icon (Applications), it never seems to do 
anything

4) in terminal, after Killall tor, then run tor, then torbrowser from icon 
"sometimes" worked

I have purged and re-installed (all these in turn) 
tor / torbrowser / torbrowser-launcher

I do have a V E R Y   S L O W internet connection (if that has an effect)
