Details

From the debugging crashes I'm removing in bug 1475382, it looks like we're failing to launch child processes about 30 times/week on Windows Nightly, and this is happening in the sandbox process launching code. We have some telemetry (SANDBOX_FAILED_LAUNCH_KEYED) to try to get more information, but when this was discussed a few weeks ago it seemed that this wasn't as informative as it could be, and we may not have an idea of how serious this is, how it affects the user experience, what if anything we can/should do about it, etc.
