I think you may have pasted the wrong thing into the Description.

To try and resubmit a pending report (for example if you lost your internet connection):

  1. Go to about:crashes in the location bar
  2. Click the latest report link to resubmit it

If there isn't a pending crash report listed, I'm afraid you may be out of luck for that crash report.
