Comment:

 Could anyone being affected by this bug test the custom bundle below? It
 should have the fixes Jacek wrote for
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1430149 and is not exploding
 on my Windows 7 testing machine:

 https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/torbrowser-install-win64-tbb-
 nightly_27503_en-US.exe
 https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/torbrowser-install-win64-tbb-
 nightly_27503_en-US.exe.asc

 Note: you might have trouble connecting to the Tor network when starting
 up Tor Browser the first time. In that case, closing Tor Browser and
 starting it again should fix that (I am currently looking into providing a
 bug report for that behavior for the network folks).
