Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:9 mcs]:
 > Kathy and I can not reproduce this bug when Tor Browser is running in
 multiprocess mode. When multiprocess mode is enabled, we always see a tab
 crash, which is #21766. Also, if the pref
 `extensions.torbutton.launch_warning` is set to false, neither this bug
 nor #21766 occur.

 > I wanted to mention our experience in case someone is seeing different
 behavior.

 No, this ticket got filed before we had e10s enabled in Tor Browser. And I
 only see it once I have e10s off.
