Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > >Is there an explanation for the fact that after first extracting TBB,
 it will close a few times without crashing?
 > It's probably something about fetching info about new TBB or pinging
 servers about new add-ons (NoScript and HTTPS-Everywhere). If you fast
 enough for first times then nothing yet fetched and ~~HTTPS-Everywhere~~
 something didn't triggered some changes in db files. After fetch it stores
 something to disk (as allowed by uncheck "Don't record browsing history"
 option) and every next run guaranteed crashes. It's only theory, however.
 I ran fresh with DR unchecked for 20min, closed it, then did 2 quick
 cycles, it crashed in the second.
 Starting over, I did 3 cycles, on fourth unchecked DR, 2 more cycles,
 crashed on second (6th).

 >By any chance did you install EMET? Or some software that forces ASLR for
 every dll?
 No security software on this PC. Same bug on another, slightly older PC.
