Details

bug 814086 added a CrashSubmit.pruneSavedDumps API that matches what the crash reporter client does for browser crashes. We don't currently have this behavior for plugin crashes, which means that they can pile up on disk. We should use this API after a plugin crash to limit the number of pending crashes.
Yesterday, I removed about 61,000 files from the pending folder.

There is a bug that has been assigned so that about:crashes can/will remove pending as well.
I assume you have a plugin that crashes constantly? You might also be interested in bug 691432.
Of course this is a dupe.
