 The segmentation fault is maybe only the most annoying part of the
 underlying issue. If the security level is set to "High" and after a
 restart of Tor Browser, opening about:addons and trying to change to the
 "Extensions" or "Appearance" panel leads to a segmentation fault.

 Other effects of setting the security level to "High" which may be related
 or may help you finding the root cause:
 (after closing and restarting)
 - the symbols in front of the panel descritions in about:preferences are
 not visible
 - the checkboxes in about:preferences don't show a check mark or a dot if
 they are selected

 Unfortunately I don't know how to debug this, but I hope you can reproduce
 this easily.
