Comment (by bugzilla):

 Mitigation caveat:
 > EAF mitigation should not be applied to: programs and libraries
 protected that use packers or compressors, DRM or software with anti-
 debugging code, debuggers, and security software such as antivirus,
 sandbox, firewalls, etc.

 EMET.dll (EMET SHIM) is added to every process even when EMET service is
 not started.
 And similar startup crash:
 {{{
 Faulting application name: firefox.exe, version: 45.3.0.0, time stamp:
 0x00000000
 Faulting module name: kernel32.dll, version: 6.1.7601.23392, time stamp:
 0x56eb2fb8
 Exception code: 0x80000004
 Fault offset: 0x0004c4d3
 }}}
