Actual results: Content (tab content) crashed. Expected results: Tab content should not crash if plugin code encounters a signal to terminate. What would be the outcome if Flash (or some other plugin) crashes in e10s mode?
plugin-container doesn't just host plugins, it hosts content (tabs) as well. When you kill this process you might kill a plugin or you might kill the content process containing your tabs.
