 I opened the New York Times website today, right after installing Tor
 Browser 5.0.5, and it crashed with a 'Program stopped working' error
 message.

 First, I opened 3 tabs and it crashed. So I went to the New York Times
 site to copy the 3 links so I could include them without opening them, and
 it crashed after the New York Times site had been open for about 1 minute
 (I had just copied one link, but had not opened it).

 I am running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1.

 I don't know if there is a Windows dump somewhere with more information.
 And I don't know much more. I had been browsing other websites with no
 problem, but the New York Times site crashed Tor 3 times in about 6
 minutes, so I'm not going to try to open it again from Windows. I have
 Privacy set to Medium Low.
