When using Private Browsing, nothing is recorded. Including history.

If there is more than one user on a computer system, you should set each user up with their own computer user account. Firefox would create a separate user profile for each user of the computer. Only someone with access to a user's computer account can access the profile.

In the address box, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP- in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most recent 7 - 10 Submitted crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.

Please, Do not post a screenshot ! !
