876274 - Cannot Remove Old Crash Reports

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, defect)

Description

[David E. Ross]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.17.1

This bug report was prompted by the discussion in the mozilla.support.seamonkey newsgroup at <news://news.mozilla.org:119/[e-mail]>.  

The following assumes that at lease some crash reports were indeed made for SeaMonkey.  

1.  In the SeaMonkey URI (address) area, enter about:crashes.  

2.  Select the Remove All Reports button.  

3.  Terminate SeaMonkey.  

4.  Relaunch SeaMonkey.  

5.  In the SeaMonkey URI (address) area, enter about:crashes.  

The supposedly deleted crash reports are again displayed.  

Furthermore, there is no user interface -- working or not -- to deleted selected entries.

I'm going to move this to Toolkit::Breakpad Integration because that's where the crash reporter lives.

Also possible DUP

This WFM in Firefox, so I don't have any suggestions. The latter part is covered by the bug Philip mentioned.

I can't reproduce this in Firefox. If you can get more information feel free to reopen.
