Firefox crash not submitted

Firefox crashed and displayed the crash dialog.

There the "submit" option was selected (it is selected by default, it seems) and I clicked QUIT. Then it showed "submitting report..." and then closed after a few seconds.

Then I restarted Firefox and opened about:crashes.

There the recent crash was listed under "Unsubmitted Crash Reports".

So it seems either: 

- it was not submitted (bug in the crash submit dialog, it said it is submitting but failed)
- or it was submittted (bug in about:crashes, where it claims it wasn't)

I submitted the crash manually , see ID bp-7a2c87cc-4834-4f85-8858-b3ec00200520

I noticed the browser was open for 5 days. What were you doing when the crash happened?
surfing, watching a clip, reading an article . . . .

I was using other programs. I just noticed the crash dialog. Not sure what was happening in Firefox.

Some have reported crashes when the browser is left open when not in use.
If you get another crash, please post it here.
