Description
str
checkout and build rr at commit 6915ac0
then record firefox startup just until the first page is shown is more than enough.
run rr replay
set a breakpoint on do_main
run continue in gdb
observe after js pretty printers say they have been loaded gdb prints connection closed, and the rr process is now a zombie.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure using rr at commit 6915ac0: record Firefox startup, run rr replay, set a breakpoint on do_main in gdb, and continue. Observe the connection-closed message after the JavaScript pretty printers load and confirm that rr becomes a zombie; the issue does not identify a target file or expected fix.
