[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: crash regression that needs a fix before release.

Given how close we are to merge day, the crash volume from bug 1550524, and the complexity of the likely fix, I think we should back out bug 325352 for the moment and then reland it together with a fix for bug 1550524.

In particular, I would like to back out bug 325352 part 2.

Back out the second part of the fix for bug 325352 until we have a fix for the crash issues it causes.  r=hsivonen

Hi Henri, could you help specify a root cause for this bug? Thank you.

Flags: needinfo?(hsivonen)

The root cause is that the the code predates the spec, the spec tries to capture the browsers' collective pre-existing behavior, and then changing the code according to the spec didn't account for all actual Gecko-internal dependent behaviors. I've asked on Slack how this kind of thing should be annotated.

Flags: needinfo?(hsivonen)

Design Error per Slack.
