Tangential Context

Note that I encountered this after appearing to reproduce id=2008393, per:

• crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/635305ab-3a3f-4105-bc90-d5fef0260424

• crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/640d0d8f-56ed-4aed-85a2-1b6340260424

…by invoking javascript:window.open(location.href, "detab", "toolbar=0"), at chrome://browser/content/browser.xhtml. I did so in order to capture a screenshot for id=2008062#c7. I'd forgotten that it would SEGV.
