This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is 
report bp-8e0ccf1c-9115-4a5e-aeb1-72c000170613.
=============================================================

David, we saw some crashes from GPU process crashes due to the assertion added in bug 1349699. I'm not sure if this is supported configuration so needinfo to let you aware of it.

It's only on OS X.

The GPU process is only supported on Windows. Bug 1363773 is the previous bug I filed about crashing on OSX in the GPU process.

There are a lot of crashes, but only a couple of installations.

Right, someone must have flipped the pref on. We can disregard this, or stop the pref from having any effect on OS X. Not sure how important it is. If someone did flip the pref on it makes sense that their install would submit a lot of crashes.

Sorry ;)

Closing because no crash reported since 12 weeks.

On Socorro, there are 8 GPU process crashes from 3 installations. I assume it's the same problem.
Example: bp-b1aae730-e1f6-416a-ab6a-0df070190613
(All WR-, but there seems to be general interest in getting a GPU process for MacOS: bug 1520682 comment 16)
