Running the browser-chrome suite with e10s on Windows will often cause the child process to crash - the crashing test doesn't seem consistent, and generally the crashing test doesn't do anything particularly unusual.

The following patch causes the test to run with the following prefs set which prevents the crashes.

* layers.offmainthreadcomposition.prefer-basic=true
* gfx.direct2d.disabled=true
* layers.acceleration.disabled=true

I've not dug any deeper than this, so apologies in advance for the somewhat vague nature of this.
On my win8 system the tests appear to be running fine, so I haven't been able to uncover any useful details.
