TB14 on macOS crashing when visiting some onionsites

We got several tickets from macOS users about TB unexpected behavour.

When visiting .onion websites users get an error message:

"Tor unexpectedly exited. This might be due to a bug in Tor itself, another program on your system, or faulty hardware. Until you restart Tor, Tor Browser will not be able to reach any websites. If the problem persists, please send a copy of your Tor Log to the support team.

Restarting Tor will not close your browser tabs."

From the tor logs, tor successfully bootstrapped

[NOTICE] Bootstrapped 100% (done): Done

All users use TB14, those two who shared this info use MacOS Sequoia 15. One of the users confirmed they visited the website that caused the error just two days ago with no problems at all.

I tried to reproduce the error myself, but I wasn't able to
