 besides me apparently :(

 issue on trac there are way more users that just live with the
 problem/stop using Tor Browser without reporting anything. Thus, assuming
 this is a Tor Browser bug, it's not just about you. :) (And even if it
 would only affect you that's worth the trouble).

 well, we can start the `gdb` route (I'll try to give you instructions for
 that).

 I appreciate the swift replies and helpfulness
 and yessir the Alpha has the same problem for me. So what is gdb? How do I
 use it?
