How to disable submit crash report in FireFox 3.6.10 on Windows XP SP3.

I already updated the "[Crash Reporter] Enabled=0" in the "application.ini" file located in "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox". However, in FireFox 3.6.10 TOOLS-->OPTIONS-->GENERAL TAB submit crash report still showing checked.

I am using WMware ThinApp to create the package.

Any suggestions on how to disable the submit crash reports feature?

The (global) flag to disable the crash reporter as shown in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is stored in the file crashreporter.ini in the Crash Reports folder in the parent folder of the Firefox profile folder (%APPDATA\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports%)

crashreporter.ini:

[Crash Reporter]
SubmitReport=0 or 1

Thanks cor-el for the reply.

I checked and the crash reports folder ((%APPDATA\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports%)) do not have a file called crashreporter.ini

Windows probably hides the .ini file extension, so you may only see a file crashreporter in that folder.

Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"
To see the file extensions of all files uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types"
