Usually filing regular bug with terminal output is a good start. If
terminal output is not enough, I (or anyone else looking at the bug)
will request more logs. The usual interesting channels are
mshtml,ieframe in this case, but occasionally also urlmon,wininet,tid or
even trying debugging version of Gecko (although I would not advice
debugging version of Gecko unless there is a reason, which I can't know
without knowing more about the bug).
