: Short for "chemical spill", this is historically intended to mean "something is wrong with the Firefox release, so that we have to create a new release and ship it to all users as soon as possible, instead of waiting for the normally scheduled next release".

This isn't at term we use lightly, and when somebody says "chemspill" you put aside what you're doing and figure out how to help.
