Comment (by pospeselr):

 Ok, sorry to be a pedant but can you clarify which version of which
 software you're running with each result? IE for each scenario I need to
 know:

 - version of Windows and whether 32 or 64 bit
 - 32 or 64 bit Tor Browser
 - version of Screen Reader
 - result vs expected

 On my end there are 3 base scenarios (multiplied by the number of screen
 readers):
 - 32 bit windows w/ 32 bit Tor Browser
 - 64 bit windows w/ 32 bit Tor Browser
 - 64 bit windows w/ 64 bit Tor Browser

 I'm currently looking into NVDA crashing 64-bit Tor Browser on 64-bit
 Windows 10 when transitioning from the tor network connection window to
 the main browser window. From what I can tell both 32 bit Tor Browser
 scenarios are working (with NVDA at least).

 Thanks!
