Hi all,

I'm happy to share that we now have automated scraping of NixOS symbol information in place.

This runs as part of the system-symbols scraping pipeline and covers both Firefox builds packaged by NixOS as well as the system libraries they depend on. As a result, crash reports from Firefox on NixOS should have improved stack traces, with better function and symbol information available, making them much easier to understand and debug. This work was tracked in Bug 1937269 - Consider scraping symbols for NixOS

Thanks to Martin Weinelt and Gabriele Svelto for their help!
