Comment 1 for bug 246843

I can confirm this bug in Hardy and Intrepid, so I will mark this as Triaged and put it on Wishlist.

Looking at the diff page - http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox-3.0/firefox-3.0_3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3.diff.gz - we see, "Disable crash reporter" for "firefox-3.0 (3.0~b1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low" which is the FF3 beta 1 release as modified for Ubuntu.

It would seem appropriate that firefox should explain to you why it cannot access the about:crashes page. It is understandable that this functionality would have been disabled if Mozilla doesn't want crash reports from Ubuntu's modified version, but instead wants those bugs posted here on LP manually or through apport.

Therefore, we would request that Ubuntu's firefox explains to the user why crash reporter has been disabled and tells the user what they should do to report bugs/crashes when the user tries to access about:crashes.

Thank you.
