Details

mconnor was running into issues where Firefox Health Report tests were timing out when running mochitests. We cranked up the logging of Firefox Health Report and pushed to try. https://tbpl.mozilla.org/php/getParsedLog.php?id=20992444&tree=Try&full=1 This log reveals that FHR is spending a lot of time collecting and recording crashes. Now, performance concerns of FHR aside, why are there dozens - possibly hundreds - of crashes on this machine? Why is there state from previous jobs lingering around to influence state of subsequent jobs? Crashes should at least be moved out of the way after job execution so they don't influence other jobs. If we don't care about them, they should be deleted completely. This bug is likely a subset of a larger bug: we don't delete the AppData directory (which is where crashes are stored).

All of the automation.py-using test harnesses set MOZ_CRASHREPORTER_NO_REPORT, so crash reports never leave the temporary profile directory. (The crash reporter client is responsible for moving them to Crash Reports/pending.)
