Hi Kevin, Margaret, I am also in support of uplifting the patch from bug 1119915 to Beta44 even though it includes a string change. This has been a long standing crash across multiple releases and if we can alert users in some if not all cases, I think we are in a better place than not doing anything about it.
Bug 1119915 was fixed in Aurora45 when it was still on the Nightly channel. Kevin, *does the crash-stats data show any improvement on this specific issue on those channels* (I was unable to tell)? If yes, that is a pretty strong argument towards uplifting this to Beta44.
