Details

When the out-of-process file-picker crashes, we currently restart in-process. If it wasn't an instacrash, this is likely to be confusing. If it was, it'll just bring down the browser.

We should probably notify the user instead, giving them an option to retry or (in the case of save-dialogs) to just save to a temporary or default location.

Depends on: 1886327

(After some discussion, it seems likely that the UI provided won't be a retry UI specifically.)
