1302751 - Only show "View" button on unsubmitted crash report notification for Nightly and DevEdition users

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, defect)

Description

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

If we're considering sending the unsubmitted crash report notification up to beta users, or even further, I suspect we're going to want to hide the "View" button for everybody except the Nightly and (maybe) DevEdition users.

"View" in that notification takes the users to about:crashes. I think we should avoid sending users there when possible, since that page is super super cryptic and probably not very useful outside of our Nightly audience (and even then, only marginally useful).

shorlander, do you concur with the above? It's pretty trivial to hide it - I'll spin up a patch while I wait for feedback.

I do agree that that page and information is largely not useful for most people. I also think if we are asking people to make a choice about whether or not to send information we should at least expose a way to see that information.

I don't really view it as a primary action to take on that notification bar though. It's also inconsistent with the other items in that they initiate an immediate action (as buttons should ;)). At some point I suggested we make it a link instead, which is really what it is and would make it less confusing. E.g. https://cl.ly/1o3v2w2U2e2z
