Comment (by teor):

 I can reproduce this crash using the following steps:
 1. Close and reopen Tor Browser
 2. Type "http://dud.inf.tu-dresden.de/Anon Terminology.shtml" into the
 address bar
  * Copy-paste or clicking the link in the PDF also causes the crash.
  * The full link is required. Any shorter links make it reproduce
 intermittently or not at all.
  * It doesn't matter whether the space is %-encoded or not.
  * It must be the first page you open after launch.
  * It must be the first time you access the 404 page on that site after
 launch.
 3. Wait for the page to load. Tor Browser crashes about 2-3 seconds after
 the page loads.
  * If it doesn't crash when you type in the link, try clicking the link in
 the PDF. It's the most reliable method I've found.
