On Windows, bug 1146874 fixed the problem where a failure to start a sandboxed GMP process would cause the main process to crash.

Now we have logging and of course the video fails to play.

Should we handle this better, with retries or communication to the user, like when the GMP process crashes?

Should we be reporting this via the crash reporter?
Maybe the reporting should be common code in GeckoChildProcessHost.cpp
