Comment (by ma1):

 I doubt it's the same defect, or even similar, as the implementation of
 the filter has radically changed with WebExtensions, and now it runs
 asynchronously in its own process and shouldn't be able to block the
 browser, let alone the whole computer.
 Could you please provide me steps to reproduce reliably?
 Is it Tor Browser specific or does it affect Firefox too.
 Might it be related to the pseudo-modal warning dialog (which must go away
 anyway anyway, with the UI redesign), rather than the filter itself?
 Thanks.
