I'm still seeing this after a crash, using Firefox5b2.

I've noticed this error while I went to http://cbe001.chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23mobile

It seems that it's reproducing always on Aurora build:
Build id : Mozilla/5.0 (Android;Linux armv7l;rv:6.0a2)Gecko/201100609
Firefox/6.0a2 Fennec/6.0a2

This occurs because we try to grab the strings from the desktop crash reporter, but we don't ship the necessary file on Android.
