User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0 Build ID: 20161104212021 Steps to reproduce: Opened multiple tabs rapidly from one page Actual results: Apparently this has to do with Electrolysis - it seems to be unable to distinguish malicious activity from a user simply quickly opening multiple links. This causes the tab from which tabs are being opened to crash, and all the others to do so as well. Expected results: The tabs should have opened as normal, as they have in every previous Firefox release.
