caused by HWA?

Ranking is now down to 70+ - so probably either users left, found a solution or they stopped crashing 

Note: approx 1/3 of crashes are not startup.  Majority of these have different stack starting at frame 1
For example bp-f6f7cd0c-9a02-4e6c-aa37-a34cd2150120
 0 	dwrite.dll	FindElementCommon(ICacheReference*, bool, CacheHeader const&, unsigned int const*, HashElement const*, void const*, IElementKey const&, CachedElementData*)

2 	dwrite.dll	ClientSideCacheContext::FindElement(IElementKey const&, CachedElementData*)	
3 	dwrite.dll	ElementTaskList::GetElementData(IBaseCacheContext*, IElementKey const&, CachedElementData*)	
4 	dwrite.dll	IBaseCacheContext::GetElementData(IElementKey const&, CachedElementData*)	
5 	dwrite.dll	FontFaceElement::FontFaceElement(IBaseCacheContext*, FontFaceElementKey const&, DWRITE_FONT_SIMULATIONS)	
6 	dwrite.dll	DWriteFontFace::DWriteFontFace(DWriteFactory*, FontFaceElementKey const&, DWRITE_FONT_SIMULATIONS, IDWriteFontFile*)	
7 	dwrite.dll	DWriteFontFace::Create(DWriteFactory*, FontFaceElementKey const&, DWRITE_FONT_SIMULATIONS, IDWriteFontFile*)	
8 	dwrite.dll	DWriteFont::CreateFontFace(IDWriteFontFace**)	
9 	xul.dll	gfxDWriteFontEntry::CreateFontFace(IDWriteFontFace**, DWRITE_FONT_SIMULATIONS)	gfx/thebes/gfxDWriteFontList.cpp
10 	xul.dll	gfxDWriteFont::gfxDWriteFont(gfxFontEntry*, gfxFontStyle const*, bool, gfxFont::AntialiasOption)	gfx/thebes/gfxDWriteFonts.cpp
11 	xul.dll	gfxDWriteFontEntry::CreateFontInstance(gfxFontStyle const*, bool)	gfx/thebes/gfxDWriteFontList.cpp
12 	xul.dll	gfxFontEntry::FindOrMakeFont(gfxFontStyle const*, bool)	gfx/thebes/gfxFont.cpp
13 	xul.dll	gfxFontGroup::FindPlatformFont(nsAString_internal const&, nsACString_internal const&, bool, void*)	gfx/thebes/gfxFont.cpp
14 	xul.dll	gfxFontGroup::FontResolverProc(nsAString_internal const&, void*)	gfx/thebes/gfxFont.cpp
15 	xul.dll	gfxWindowsPlatform::ResolveFontName(nsAString_internal const&, bool (*)(nsAString_internal const&, void*), void*, bool&)	gfx/thebes/gfxWindowsPlatform.cpp 

The earliest crashes I find are 31.0 beta, build 20140613002318.  Most have the stack above, but unlike those of today they were mostly startup crashes. For example bp-3a0932d2-0e5e-4de4-8a68-24c752140707

Some early crashes have d2d1.dll on the stack, like bp-83671b3e-33d8-4ab1-8d9d-def7b2140723. I haven't seen this in current crashes

> caused by HWA?

Yes, I think so.

There are lots of the crashes on firefox too.
One example is:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/1ca3cd02-c458-490b-a251-119b02150120

And most of the crashes are Chinese locale.
