 willing to check it out. I just feel a bit disenchanted seeing that nobody
 else is having this issue and it feels like I would have to climb a
 mountain to figure this out, and it wouldn't even help anybody at all
 besides me apparently :(

 I think it's not unreasonable to assume that for one user reporting an
 issue on trac there are way more users that just live with the
 problem/stop using Tor Browser without reporting anything. Thus, assuming
 this is a Tor Browser bug, it's not just about you. :) (And even if it
 would only affect you that's worth the trouble).

 So, let's start with testing the alpha? And if you see the bug there as
 well, we can start the `gdb` route (I'll try to give you instructions for
 that).
