This is an HP printer driver crashing Firefox, the comments are pretty much unanymous. There's more similar signatures so I'll add them too.

Summary: Crash in [@ hp1100gc.dll] → Crashes caused by HP printer drivers

Adjusted the crash signatures to include the 25 most common instances of this.

Crash Signature: [@ hp1100gc.dll] [@ hp1100gc.dll | hp1100sd.dll | DocumentEventEx] [@ hp1100gc.dll | GlobalAlloc] [@ @0x0 | hp1100gc.dll | RtlAllocateHeap | hp1100gc.dll | GlobalAlloc] [@ hp1100gc.dll | hp1100sd.dll | NtUserSetWindowLongPtr | _ClientPrinterThunk] [@… → [@ hpc6r093.dll | hpcbr093.dll | DrvStretchBlt] [@ hp1100gc.dll] [@ hpbpro.dll | XcvDataNotSupportedByReturn] [@ hpygidui20.dll] [@ hpb6sy2917_x64gui.dll | <unknown in winspool.drv>] [@ hpm1210gc.dll] [@ hpc6r101.dll | hpcbr101.dll | DrvStretchBlt] …

This is another third-party-induced bug that I feel it would be worth addressing if someone has the spare cycles. The volume is not high but since it happens during a specific activity (printing) it's likely that the impact on user is disproportionately large for this specific use-case.

Nothing actionable here unless we do some major printing overhaul to get that done from a Utility Process. We can roadmap this but I'm not convinced the crash volume warrants S2.
