Description

Might be responsible for some intermittent failures in e10s tests, like e.g. dom/ipc/tests/test_blob_sliced_from_parent_process.html (https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=2f54757d437fcdaa82aee35b8d94dbdb84225262&selectedJob=156266897)

[triage] Don't see this in crash-stats; comment 0 indicates this may only occur in tests.

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

Should we add consoleservice.logcat for android to this list?

Comment 3

[Jan Henning [:JanH]]

Given that we'll likely want to log everything right from the start if the pref is enabled, but on the other hand not log anything if it isn't (not sure how likely that actually is early during content process startup, but in principle the console can leak visited URLs, which I guess is one of the reasons why the pref is off on Release/Beta), I suppose the answer would be yes.

I'll dup this to bug 1430500. That bug is newer, but it has a patch, so makes sense to continue things there.
