Details

During the Firefox 4 cycle, I've wanted "fuller" minidumps from users at times. Since I can actually contact some of these users, what I really want is a way for them to... set an environment variable or startup flag or something which would generate full-memory dumps instead of minidumps.

Since the windows debugging API supports this by default, I'd like UI suggestions on how users who have a minimal clue can be taught to do this for future releases fairly easily. Then they can paste crash IDs or mail the minidumps directly to developers.
