For a long time, since a patch for it landed in bug 382451, it's been possible to set Firefox to use both the Mozilla crash reporter and the Apple one, by [entering the following command in a Terminal prompt](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Misc_top_level/Environment_variables_affecting_crash_reporting):

        defaults write org.mozilla.firefox OSCrashReporter 1

This can be [used to see information that appears in the Apple crash report but not the Mozilla one](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1576767#c74).

But though this works properly in the Firefox 52.0 release, it doesn't work in the FF 53.0 release and subsequent releases.
