Thanks for filing this, could you add a link to one of the crashes that you are getting?
Also could you try retesting in the latest Beta or Nightly?

I am testing FIrefox Developer Edition 95.0b3

Navigating to addons.mozilla.org shows a message box:

---------------------------
Windows - Fail Fast Exception

A fail fast exception occurred. Exception handlers will not be invoked and the process will be terminated immediately.

OK

I can reproduce this crash on quite a few websites with security.sandbox.content.level = 20, including cnn.com or running a speed test on speedtest.net. This looks like an audio issue. I'm running Nighty 96 on Windows 11. I don't need to set security.sandbox.gpu.level = 1.

NN - do you have the crash reporter disabled?

cperterson - I wonder if that's a different issue, are you getting a fail fast exception as well?

@bobowen.
Hello, for some reason it was not enabled by default.
Anyway I turned it on, however it didn't change anything.
I still get fail fast exception.

My scenario is opening addons page (Ctrl+Alt+A) and then searching for addon.
This opens addons.mozilla.org and the message box.

Navigating to cnn.com first shows the regular Firefox tab crash and then shows the message box.

Looks like there are two different problems:

1. On cnn.com, I see the fail fast exception dialog, but no crash reporter.

2. On youtube.com, I see the tab crash reporter (for the audioipc_client crash), but no fail fast exception dialog.

https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/02ac5711-ed31-4e65-bfd0-e11ec0211111

Should I file a separate bug for the audioipc_client crash and leave this bug for the fail fast exception?

[Gian-Carlo Pascutto [:gcp]]

The Rust audioipc client library is calling https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/avrt/nf-avrt-avsetmmthreadcharacteristicsa in the content process.

Yes that would be great, I suspect that they are separate issues.
