Build ID: 20140418030202

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch latest Nightly 31.
Nightly will open in Nightly start page (about:home)
2. Enable Electrolysis in about:config.
set these 2 prefs to true: 
layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled
browser.tabs.remote.autostart
and restart Nightly. 
Nightly will start with an e10s window and open the Nightly start page (about:home)
3. Try to minimize and restore Nightly 
by either clicking the Minimize button on the upper right, or clicking the button on the taskbar,
Nightly crashes every single time.

PS. I didn't notice crashes when minimizing & restroring e10s windows 
with addresses other than about:home.
With the PS I meant:

with address other than about:home.
Summary: Minimizing & restoring a e10s window with focus on a about:home tab crashes Nightly every single time → [e10s] Minimizing & restoring a e10s window with focus on an about:home tab crashes Nightly every single time
I couldn't reproduce in 31.0a1 (2014-04-28), Win 7 x64.
Please go to about:crashes and copy/paste here the crashes ids.
Also check if the issue occurs using Firefox in safe mode (with your addons disabled):
http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode

And on a new, empty profile:

Blocks: e10s
Flags: needinfo?(rick3162)
Here is a report from just now (using my current profile, which btw as clean as new: no addons were ever installed)
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-125b73ef-292a-46b3-8ec1-8ee492140428

And here is with a new profile, having only the pref "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled" enabled
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-c732dae5-387b-4293-9bb3-255d52140428


But, in both my initial and the newly created profiles,
after restarting in Safe mode (Restart with addons disabled) the crashes don't occur.


And, for what it's worth, the only listed addon is one that is installed by Internet Download Manager v6.19 (http://i.imgur.com/EP6HU3G.png)
and it's always disabled because it's incompatible.
