I can open the Australis menu without a crash, but clicking almost anything therein crashes it, even with a new profile

We made some big improvements in the recent days and weeks. Session restore should be working now. We also landed a patch that makes scrolling on Linux not suck. Anybody of you wants to test it again?

Australis menus still manage to kill the build. Any page with Flash on it manages to kill scrolling.

This is really interesting, do you mean just opening it? It works fine for me on Linux and on a Windows VM. You don't happen to have a crash id or backtrace? The flash scrolling problem is known, but might be really hard to fix.

I wonder if the menus problem is associated with Azure? Hardware conflicts with Azure are known to cause rendering issues with menus.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Re: Multiprocess Firefox [e10s]
Thanks a lot! Windows in a VM doesn't use acceleration, and this stack looks like something that would only happen with it enabled. If you want you can probably use "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.force-basic". Actually I am probably wrong, looks it uses the basic compositor already, so this won't help.

Re: Multiprocess Firefox [e10s]
Does that still happen if you try opening the addons page with CTRL SHIFT A?

For me also the screen going black after a few new pageloads/tab switches prevents me further testing of e10s.
