For debathena machines, we do have the option of building a local firefox 
package with the offending commit reverted.  I'm still trying to make 
sense of the mozilla bug reports linked from 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1003707 (which we believe to 
be the current bug), but it looks like the "offending commit" for this bug 
fixed a fairly common crash, so it's not clear that just reverting the one 
commit is a good plan for us.
