What makes Firefox more susceptible to bitflips than any other software. Wouldn’t that mean 10% of all software crashes are caused by bitflips and it just depends what software you are running when that happens.

Programs that use more memory could be slightly more susceptible to this sort of thing because if a bit gets randomly flipped somewhere in a computer’s memory, the bit flip more likely to happen in an application that has a larger ram footprint as opposed to an application with a small ram footprint.

I’m still surprised the percentage is this high.

Is it high? How does it compare to any other software?
