ilikefree09,

Looks like the crash reporter is on but you're not submitting your reports. Take a look at the screenshot below.

You need to choose either Restart Firefox or Quit Firefox in order to submit your crash reports. When you click the X at the top right corner, it doesn't submit.

Can you reproduce the crash? This time, can you click Restart Firefox to submit the crash report. When you've done that, do the following:

  1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent Report IDs that start with bp- and paste them into your response here.
