The remaining crashes, tracked by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500936 , are only topcrash #20. Good news: this one js_MonitorLoopEdge crash was most of them.

I think it could be added value for the average user, showing him more directly how his crash report contributes to the evolution of the software, that it's really not just a black box. So he could sometimes see that his crash is currently being worked on by some developer, or even should be solved in the latest version that he hasn't downloaded yet, or it's just some anonymous unfrequent crash, but even in that case that the development would like to hear from him if he's able to reproduce it systematically. And then you would have a place to put the red flag of "hey guy, you've just had the frequent crash that we can't repro and if you have a few minutes we'd love to hear more info from you about how you got it".

It would be really nice if we could teach breakpad and gdb about JIT code, though. I think we would have needed a full heap dump to track this down if we hadn’t reproduced it in a debugger.
