Crash Data

STR: 1. Open Firefox Nightly (64) using a profile you normally use with 62. 2. Close. 3. Open Firefox release (62) using the same profile. Expected result: Firefox comes up and is clickable. Actual result: 99% of the time it crashes on startup: bp-999dd2cf-2074-4a21-b9e3-6cdd70180912 1% of the time the Firefox window appears ok, but is unresponsive to clicks (hangs). 0% works
Looks like something Necko cache related? At least, that's my read of the crash stack.
Component: Untriaged → Networking: Cache
Product: Firefox → Core
This looks to be because of the serialization of security info in the cache, based on the stack. I could be wrong, but it seems to me the better place to handle that would be in PSM (or maybe NSS?) where the serialization/deserialization is actually done.

Dana - ni? just to ensure this gets on your radar soon.
