It seems the torbrowser-launcher in /usr/bin/ fails due to the new tor browser version update.

Tor Launcher Settings in the Parrot Menu will reinstall a new version of the browser, but its the launcher that is causing the error.
a workaround one quick fix is to
launch start-tor-browser in the /.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US/Browser directory.
or
start-tor-browser.desktop in ~/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US/
Edit-
Github issue raised.
