    • Blockers: bug 497665, bug 514605, bug 523528, bug 525326
    • Thought I had fixed my topcrash bug bug 523528, but more crashes on m-c show that it's still there in at least some of the cases. Luckily someone mentioned a very old bug with some testcases in it in one of the crash reports (omg), so I have testcases to really fix this bug.
