+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1513284 +++

As per my investigation in bug 1513284 the exception handler for child processes is being installed correctly and the out-of-process crash generation machinery seems to be working properly but when a content processes crash no minidump is generated. This is either caused by the exception handler not being invoked correctly (which is what I suspect to be happening) or something else equally obscure.
Depends on: 1517730

As it turns out content crash reports have always been generated correctly. The reason why I couldn't get any was that I was using the crashfirefox-intentionally tool to crash the content process and the tool did not work properly on ARM64. I've patched it up and now I can reliably crash all types of AArch64 processes. With the tool fixed I can submit content crash reports just fine and some other users also did in the past few days.
