We have a blocklist mechanism available to us for child processes that provides an advantage over the current dll entry point blocklist service. The advantage stems from the way in which this mechanism is set up prior to any thread execution in the child process. We currently only block one dll here, WRusr.dll from WebRoot, but we plan to expand this to include a number of 3rd party dlls. This bug tracks work in this area.

Try push with some more DLLs that crop up frequently in the ImageBridgeChild::InitForContent crashes: https://hg.mozilla.org/try/rev/387923a5755a57ad378308af77e12a117ccaa70c
I think that trying to slice this up by feature is just going to lead to complications down the line, so to keep it simple I've moved this to the launch code for all sandboxed children, not just when the Alternate Desktop is enabled. This also, similar to chromium, only adds them to the blocklist if they are loaded in the parent.

Don't know if this is the right place for this or if it's already been covered but Comodo has apparently been causing crashes on 32 bit Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-startup-comodo-win10-update
