In ancient days, a similar behavior was associated with saving history and setting Firefox to start up with windows and tabs from your previous session: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/.../10761. However, that one appears to have been fixed, it's probably something new.

A BEX event usually occurs when Windows detects a suspicious use of another program's memory space. It can be caused by security software or malware.

The nssckbi.dll file is related to Firefox's certificate store (e.g., trusted root certificates shipped with Firefox). I don't know why nssckbi.dll would be involved in the shutdown process.

Since this doesn't affect your regular use of the browser, and Firefox 52 ESR reaches its "end of life" in a couple of months when Tor browser moves to a Firefox 60 base, I don't know how much time you want to invest in troubleshooting this series.

Was that a question or an instruction? Sorry, but I did not understand at all.
