Better error message to know if browsh or firefox is segfaulting.

[gl-yziquel]

Hello.

I build browsh from source and git HEAD. And also firefox. So it's not entirely surprising that I get segfaults. However, I here wish to complain about the error message system. I get:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
                                                                       [signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x4cc50e]

                                                                                                                                             goroutine 9 [running]:

                                                                                                                                                                        /home/mini-me/home/backyard/hephaestus/browsh-master/interfacer/src/br

So. 1. The layout is problematic. 2. It's really hard to tell, at first glance whether it is browsh or firefox that is segfaulting.

Could error handling and reporting be improved ?
