1601366 - OSCrashReporter setting no longer works on macOS

Status: ASSIGNED

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Steven Michaud [:smichaud] (Retired)]

For a long time, since a patch for it landed in bug 382541, 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:

    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.

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

The bug assignee is inactive on Bugzilla, so the assignee is being reset.

Sorry, there was a problem with the detection of inactive users. I'm reverting the change.
