Prevent Firefox from creating crash dump

We have firefox published on a small citrix farm, problem is the folder that is hosting the crash dumps is random, so we can't exclude it when the profiles are copied back during user logoff. We are potentially copying back a significant amount of useless data. Is there a way to stop Firefox from creating the crash dump file in the first place? We've found ways to stop the Reporting portion, but not this dump file creation.

Thanks! Micah

as far as i understand it, if you set the MOZ_CRASHREPORTER_DISABLE variable accordingly, no dump file should be created in the first place (though i've never tried it myself).

We saw this.. does disabling the crash reporter prevent firefox from creating the dump file when it crashes? It seemed that the article was saying that this only disables the reporting portion.
