Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is 
report bp-b9613a10-f0f3-4b37-bbcb-48fbf2150922.
=============================================================

This exploded with builds on all platforms as of build 2015092003 with 68 crashes. However, the builds from yesterday only had 10 crashes reported.  

On Mac 10.9.5, I hit this once with each Nightly build from 9/20 and 9/21, just loading the new tab tiles page soon after browser start.

I'm pretty sure it's the same issue as in bug #1206524.

I don't understand why you're wiping the crash signatures from any bug with a signature associated with the random crash bug.  It makes it a challenge to look at crash stats and have to recall if anyone has filed a bug on a particular signature.  By leaving the signature in duped bugs, since you've wiped all signatures from the random crash bug, a bread crum trail can be picked up in crash stats and followed to the source.

It's because posting crash report signature doesn't make sense in this specific case, as it will be probably over 100 or more of them. Please see also Bug #1206524 Comment #10.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean we should track the long tail of signatures associated with this. But it wouldn't have hurt a thing to leave the signatures in the several bugs that people already took the time to report and/or that made topcrash criteria.  Anyway, the noise on crash stats will go away in a few days.  I'll check back to it next week.
