STR: 1. Open both an e10s and non-e10s window. 2. Crash that window, such as using STR in bug 987272. RESULT: The parent process crashes, but I expected only the e10s window to crash.
In bug 987272, we're crashing in HTTP code, which runs in the parent. I don't think there's much we can do about that except reduce as much as possible the amount of code that runs in the parent. Anything that touches the network needs to have a part that runs in the parent, though, because of sandboxing.
