Comment (by Rastislav Kiss):

 Wow, I just tried the 32-bit version of Tor browser, and it works, with
 all screenreaders! Completely accessible. Amazing!
 But in order, here are my versions:

 Windows 10 1809 pro 64-bit
 Jaws 2019.1906.10 pro 64-bit
 NVDA 2019.1.1 32-bit

 Tor browser your test build 64-bit:
 NVDA: TB crashes when NVDA want to load the page from browser to its
 internal buffers
 Jaws: TB crashes, when a page is loaded.
 Windows Narrator: Works.

 Tor browser, your test build, 32-bit:
 NVDA: Works.
 Jaws: Works.
 Window Narrator: Works.

 So, as you said, problem is just with the 64-bit build of tor browser.
 32-bit works, fantastic job.
