Description Adam Roben (:aroben) 2010-07-27 10:40:07 PDT

It would be useful to be able to put the web process into a mode where it would crash at a random time. This could help us find cases where the UI process doesn't handle a web process crash correctly, such as bug 43049.

In Chrome, we use the about:crash URL to trigger these conditions.  That has the nice property that it's not accessible from web content.

It seems to me that a reproducible pseudo-random sequence is better than a higher quality random number for this purpose.
