I see Windows crashes as well, so changing platform to all.
OS: Mac OS X → All
Hardware: Unspecified → All
This currently ranks as the top browser crash on Nightly, 346 total crashes/72 installs - most of them Linux.
Keywords: topcrash
I suspect that this is an issue with content and child having different versions. I'm assuming that ContentProcess::Init is called before ContentChild::Init, and this code doesn't look very resilient against -schedulerPrefs not being sent.

I think this patch is an improvement, but a change to the scheduler pref formatting string could still cause a buffer overflow, which is not great. Maybe the char* should get turned into a safer data structure.

Bug 1394176 - Use default values for scheduler prefs if the parent process didn't send any.

Still not sure if this is really a version mismatch, but I guess we can paper over it for now.

This last showed up in the 8-25 build, which is before I landed anything, so it is hard to say if what I did mattered, but I'll close this.
