I cannot get passed Mozilla Crash Reporter. I have on repeated occasions attempted to "Tell Mozilla" and "Allow Mozilla", and I have received no response. Restart or Quit Firefox and no result. Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and the result is the same. Please advise.

Crash reports are sent to the Mozilla servers for the developers to see.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

While still in Safe Mode,

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it to Submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.

(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)
