 How to crash 64-bit Linux tor-browser_en-US-2.3.25-8:

 1. Unpack tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.3.25-8-dev-en-US.tar.gz and
 start it.

 2. Log on to https://wordpress.com/ (contact me for account info if
 you want to use the same that i used).

 3. Press "New Post" and "Text".

 4. Click on the window where the text is supposed to be entered. On my
 first three tries, FF crashed instantly. On my fourth try i managed to
 type a couple of letters. When clicking on the text field again, it
 crashed.

 This was tested on a system calling itself 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian
 3.2.41-2+deb7u2 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

 Extra info:
 - FF seems to be very sensitive about its extensions. Installing
 "RequestPolicy" makes FF extremely crashy even without running
 JavaScript.
 - Disabling NoScript and HTTPSEverywhere makes no difference.
 - Uninstalling ("Remove") NoScript and HTTPSEverywhere makes no
 difference.
