I'm going to guess that a) talos isn't detecting crashes due to e10s (I may be wrong; just a guess).  The unit tests went red yesterday and are now solid orange, but Stuart asked me to hide those yesterday.

Aki: Do you know where to look already for this issue or is it something that will require research?

I think it's going to take a talos harness overhaul to be fully e10s-aware.

I spoke with Bob and suggested maybe e10s process crashes should provide stack dumps for minidump_stalkwalk to parse... which seems like the right fix to me without knowing all the details.

is the next step to assign this to aTeam for harnass changes?

bob/clint: do you already have a bug tracking e10s work, or should we push this one over to you?

Wasn't this the result of our not installing new copies of Fennec? If so, this is a dup & fixed.
