I was able to get some phenomenal help from @sdagley and @rayjd1650 on this before, but cannot seem to find any keys for disabling the crash reports. I have dug through the Crash Reporter docs and the policy-templates, but am unable to find a key to disable this feature. If anyone knows a solution, I'd love to read it.

 

Thank you in advance

I did do the telemetry option disabled by default. I have everything else disabled, but for some reason there is not a key value for the crash reports. I'm thinking that I have to disable the org.mozilla.crashreporter, but finding values for that has been unsuccessful as well.


Try browser.crashReports.unsubmittedCheck.autoSubmit2 under Preferences object.

We have option only to disable the Telmentery data , we don;t have any option to disable the Crashreport.

I was able to disable it using:

<key>Preferences</key> <dict> <key>browser.crashReports.unsubmittedCheck.autoSubmit2</key> <dict> <key>Value</key> <false/> <key>Status</key> <string>locked</string> </dict> </dict>
