Sometimes Builds/Tests need to restart. There is a automated way for some condiditons, see below - and there is a manual way
= The Manual Way =
Sometimes we need to restart a Build like for Bad Revisions etc, same for tests when we want to check out if a failure is intermittent. To complete this Task you need to select a test result in tbpl and click on it. You will see a box in the left bottom corner with information like the Testname Name: (as example Windows XP 32-bit fx-team opt test mochitest-5).
To retrigger a job/test click on the cross beside the Testname in that box and the test will be retriggered

Sometimes you might see "blue" results in TBPL. The blue means buildbot decided to restart them itself based on some rules.
You can see this rules https://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbotcustom/file/c065405e16bf/status/errors.py
There are also possibly other places where we set the status of "RETRY", but that's the main regexp file
