If you are not sure if a failure line is a new frequent failure or even a perma-failure and require a backout of the change which causes the failure, you can request more runs of the job:
* On the same push ("retrigger") by pressing the '''r''' key or clicking the button (circular arrow).
* On the same push ("retrigger") by pressing the '''r''' key or clicking the button (circular arrow).
** The glove icon [[File:Treeherder - intermittent failed and successful run indicator.png|left]] for a failed task indicates there have been successful runs of the task with the same configuration (e.g. platform) on the same push - the failure is verified to be intermittent.
* On previous pushes by opening the actions menu in the bottom toolbar ("...") and and calling "Backfill". This will run the job on the 5 previous pushes, independent if it already ran for those pushes or not. If the job depends on a build which is missing, that build will be generated before the test runs.
