 I had a random segfault in Tor Browser 3.5. Sorry I can't provide more
 details, as I am in no position to debug Firefox. I thought it might be
 worth reporting anyway, though.

 (firefox:24114): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into `$HOME
 /.tor-browser-en/INSTALL/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed:

 Data/Browser/profile.default
 Tor Browser exited abnormally.  Exit code: 139

 From what I can tell, ~/.tor-browser-en/INSTALL/.local does not even
 exist, much less .local/share/. I'm guessing that's why it failed to
 create the file, but there's probably a better way to handle the situation
 than a segfault.

 I can't really reproduce it, either. I was just downloading a file and
 watching a video, nothing out of the ordinary. It's the first time it's
 happened.
