- e10s crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1294719 is spiking in the last couple of days (8.5% of all content crashes on 48.0.2)
- mainly russian users seem to be affected (this is 50% of all content crashes if you just look at "ru" locale builds) and comments seem to suggest it's related to a particular webmail site - mail.ru?
