Comment (by mcs):

 On OSX, you want to use lldb. If you do not have /usr/bin/lldb on your
 computer, you will need to install Xcode or maybe just the Xcode command
 line tools. Mozilla has some debugging instructions here:
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Mozilla/Debugging/Debugging_Mozilla_with_lldb

 But maybe just start Tor Browser under lldb and see what is shown when it
 crashes. For example:
 {{{
 cd ~/Desktop/TorBrowser.app
 lldb ./Contents/MacOS/firefox
 run
 }}}
 After the crash occurs, a useful command is `bt` (show backtrace).
