According to Mac OS 10.6.4's crash reporter, Firefox 4b1 crashes on quit. This happens every single time I quit the program. However, the Mozilla crash reporter never shows up when I reopen Firefox.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I updgraded to 4b1

User Agent

Go to the address about:crashes and tell us your latest crash IDs. We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.

Per about:crashes there are no crashes.

However Mac OS 10.6.4 always generates a crash report when I quit Firefox 4.0b1.

There's only one crash report in Mac OS: /Users//Library/Application Support/Firefox/Crash Reports/

It's called InstallTime20100630131607 and the content is: 1279127760

I don't know why Mac OS is reporting crashes on quit.... but it happens all the time.

This means no crash reports have been submitted. Try to make it crash and make sure the mozilla crash reporter comes up and that it says Restart Firefox and Quit Firefox clicking either one of those will submit the report.

Also make sure you are checking the box to submit the report.

I don't know how to make it crash on purpose... Tried force-quitting but it didn't open the Mozilla Crash Reporter.
