Open issues/risks

`

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Improve about:crashes to be more helpful and easier to access crash reports.

2. Users & use cases

Average user

  • Get links to recent crash report(s) for SUMO
    • Submit first, if necessary
  • Tell SUMO how often a crash is occuring
  • Disable add-on suspected of causing crash (assuming it hasn't been blocklisted)

Technical user / Developer

  • Gather more information when its needed to debug the crash

3. Dependencies

`

4. Requirements

`

Non-goals

  • Will not change the way crash reports are gathered/submitted.
  • Is not a replacement for crash-stats.
  • Will not provide all information that crash-stats provides.

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

Additional information to expose

  • Date/time of crash
  • Related SUMO articles
  • Related bugs
  • Whether it's been submitted or not (currently hidden in the obscure format of the ID)
  • User comment
  • Whether we (Mozilla) want additional information to help diagnose the crash
  • Whether it's known/suspected to be caused by a certain addon
    • Include a button to disable that addon

Potentially useful info for technical users (toggle-able via hidden pref?):

  • Crash signature

Notes

  • Group by date range?
    • Makes it easier to see time-based trends
  • Remove usage of "bp-" syntax
    • Obscure way to expose whether something is submitted already, or will be submitted by clicking link
    • Removing this will make pasting-into-Bugzilla fail :( We can de-emphasize the UUIDs, but when providing a list to paste, we should keep the prefix. Jesse 04:32, 21 April 2011 (PDT)

6. User experience design
