It seems that when a submitted crash report is throttled by our servers, which IIUC mostly happens on release, it doesn't appear in about:crashes. We should probably surface it in about:crashes as a submitted crash without a crash report link, perhaps with an option to force submission of the crash report to get a link and view the crash details.

I just tried on my machine and looked again at the code and I was wrong. If the crash is throttled then we don't delete it, it's left in the pending folder and can be manually submitted via about:crashes. If it didn't appear there nor in the submitted ones then something went wrong along the way and we should investigate that. Interestingly we should have information within the crash manager about what happened... but no way of surfacing it because to this day we don't use the information that's stored there in any way.
