Bringing the retry count up to what we have when we run these things in firefox nightly seems to fix it. Makes sense to keep these things equal too. Not sure what's causing mulet to boot up slower, but many things in platform, infra, AWS can cause this, so let's not waste cycles investigating when we have a clear fix.

Julien, can you take a look here?

r=me

let's do that !

Likely Firefox/Mulet is slower than the old plain B2G to start. We should look into why, maybe file a separate bug about this ?

My guess is that there was a whole bunch of stuff in the startup path that b2g-desktop never needed. Alex expressed similar concern that simply increasing this retry count could hide underlying issues. My feeling is that even in Travis a year ago we needed a bigger retry count, so let's just give ourselves that cushion for mulet too.
