tor-browser-bundle-bin: Some website tabs crash reproducibly #95665

Describe the bug

When trying to open some web pages in tor-browser-bundle-bin, the tab reproducibly crashes after load.
This issue does not appear in the Windows build or when running the Linux64 build under Ubuntu, so this bug appears to be related to the Nix packaging.
It also isn't related to a broken browser profile, as deleting ~/.local/share/tor-browser does not resolve the issue.

Link to upstream bug: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/33186

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. nix-shell -p tor-browser-bundle-bin --run tor-browser
  2. Try opening one of the websites https://facebookcorewwwi.onion/ http://planet.blogsport.de/
  3. See the tab crash after loading has finished
