When the browser crashes, it's feasible that some of the data from sensitive web apps or sites could be included in a crash report. As such some enterprises want reporting disabled if the browser is being used to access sensitive data. Other than disabling Crash reporting from the UI, I can't seem to locate a configuration line to disable crash reporting - I can set breakpad.reportURL to null and to set HKCU\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reporter\SubmitCrashReport = 0 (on windows) each time the user logs in. Is there a way to disable crash reporting permanently so that when a new profile is created it's not re-enabled?

Thanks it appears that setting an environment variable of MOZ_CRASHREPORTER_DISABLE will do what is being looked for. Linked from your article: Environment Variables Affecting Crash Reporting
