While checking the crashes of bug 1322554, I realized that we don't have unloaded modules and TEB/PEB in minidumps, which might be helpful for debugging. So file this bug to include MiniDumpWithUnloadedModules | MiniDumpWithProcessThreadData. However, I am not so sure is this worth the increased dump size.

Comment on attachment 8830625 [details] [diff] [review] wip Review of attachment 8830625 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- I'm fine with the concept. Maybe we should just turn it on for nightlies for a while and see what happens to the size distribution of minidumps? If they go up drastically we can always switch it off. How about wrapping this in #ifdef NIGHTLY_BUILD while we test? FWIW, it looks like Chromium enabled these a while ago: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-reviews/JcMDWj0OMog I don't know if they're still using that or not.
