831742 - Disable CompartmentChecker on Aurora

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Andrew McCreight [:mccr8]]

Assuming Olli's patch to fix the most common case of these can't land on Aurora soon due to testing, we should disable this on Aurora because it is happening a lot, and not really giving us any information.  Just a patch that manually disables it should be fine.  Judging by Nightly, by next release cycle this may be stable enough to keep around on Aurora. Of course, Aurora is closed at the moment...

From #releng:

<ted> on nightly/aurora, the nightly builds go to users
<ted> on beta/release, only release builds go to users

So the compartment checks will never go past aurora.

As agreed to earlier, I've given my testers until Friday to provide results.

Olli's print preview fix has now landed on Aurora. Based on my examination of the crashes on Aurora for the last few weeks, this will eliminate enough of the CompartmentChecker crashes that it won't have any real impact on Aurora stability, so I think we can just leave it alone.
