Version/Channel Information:
I have not tried it on any other channels. However, it happened on the previous version I got from the https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com PPA, possibly on even earlier versions, but I haven’t been keeping track of how often it is updated. It has been happening for a few weeks now.

I can confirm and reproduce that, when the
#extensions-toolbar-menu
flag is enabled, attempting to access either Shields or Rewards via icon in address bar will crash the browser. I have a +1 here and will drop in others i’ve seen: https://community.brave.com/t/pressing-the-shield-button-crashes-brave/81943/3Verification passed on
