crash report fail to submit

[AZ]

Since 2020-03-19, firefox crashed about 17 times (it did not crash 1,5 years before). Though, all crash reports failed to submit. My firefox crash report submit.log reads:

apport does create or use a submit.log file.

If you browse to about:crashes, and try to resubmit the crashes, does this succeed?

Do you see "couldn't connect to server" errors while browsing otherwise?

Yes, that was working.

about:crashes -> show -> bugzilla lists mozilla bug 1591876 select() crashes in libpcslite.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1591876

As http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/p/pcsc-lite/pcsc-lite_1.8.23-1/changelog is older than the fix reported in the mozilla bugtracker, ubuntu 18.04 likely is still affected.

Maybe https://salsa.debian.org/rousseau/PCSC/commit/20385efba2075d4c13acfea43d0abc8c38d8c106 can be cherry-picked.

Though, it is not clear why submitting crashes failes unless re-submitted.
