Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch firefox
- Enter "about:crashcont
- Upon hitting return, the tab should crash and display the "This tab just crashed" page
- Ensure that the checkmark to send the crash report is ticked
- Add a comment (anything will do, a non-empty comment ensures that the crash is accepted by Mozilla crash reporting back-end)
- Click on "Restore this tab"
- Go to the "about:crashes" page
Expected behaviour:
In the "about:crashes" page the crash is displayed among the submitted crash reports, showing that the crash report was indeed submitted correctly.
Actual behaviour:
The crash appears among the unsubmitted crashes.
This bug is specific to the packaged version of Firefox that comes with Ubuntu. I've tried reproducing using Mozilla's builds and crash submission works correctly there. See this bug https:/

Thanks for the report Gabriele. I can confirm that the steps in the description lead to an unreported crash. If however I click the "Send" button in about:crashes afterwards, the crash report is correctly sent and processed. Is that what you're seeing too?
