 Located at code implemented by [https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 esr38/source/mfbt/Assertions.h#218 MOZ_REALLY_CRASH macro], line number
 for reported case is 0x26E (622). Probably involved by NS_ABORT_OOM or
 something. NYT was mentioned by #17651, where it was about OOM crash too.

 You need at least 3GB of VM for browser to surf NYT peacefully, it seems.
 OOM crash is not a bug in the Firefox universe.
