Yes, that's still https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22581. I hope to get a computer next week where I know I was able to reproduce that bug to be able to work on it. (All my currently available machines fail to trigger the issue) For what it is worth: the corresponding Mozilla bug is: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1389967.
This new version 7.0.7 and…
This new version 7.0.7 and the previous version - which i think was the immediate preceding release version of TBB - cause the windows crash alert when shutdown by clicking the "X" in upper right (right end of titlebar). Commented previously, in https://blog.torproject.org/comment/271794#comment-271794
I am using a fresh install from the exe (the previous version).
I have hardly used TBB since.
However, I haven't left TBB exactly as installed. I've added no bookmarks, but I am using a custom userchrome.css and have used firefox's normal Customize GUI. I've chosen max security in TBB slider, then changed a few settings in noscript, and allowed history in Firefox options.
