 the name what it might be.)

 Nvidia D3D10 drivers. Which seem to have a crash record. See e.g.:

 @shankar: Do Mozilla's Firefox builds work fine for you? Especially the
 17.0.6esr which is the base for the Tor Browser you used? You'll find them
 here for testing (plus the necessary SHA hash values and Mozilla's key to
 verify that you really downloaded the binaries you wanted):
