Details

The last week or so, I've had a problem where most of the time my nightly crashes, it comes back with a session restore tab, which then shows the E10s "this tab has crashed" page, rendering my session unavailable. I've noticed this happens often after upgrading Nightly.
I've been seeing this too in Firefox Nightly 51.0a1 (2016-09-02). If I crash the browser, then start it up, I see the Restore Session tab, but it's crashed. I can press the Restore this Tab button, but it doesn't do anything. Seems like I have nowhere to go from here except to lose the tabs I had open previously. Seems like a serious data loss bug.
What are your crash IDs that are causing nightly to crash?

Sorry, I didn't mention it before. These crashes never generated crashes in about:crashes for me. I was also running on NixOS, which has some strange behaviors relating to pre-built binaries, so it maybe have been entirely my fault. Either way, this isn't happening for me anymore.

Ah! Ok, well please feel free to re-open this bug if it occurs again for you. Thanks for reporting!
