Description Christoph Görn 2014-08-20 14:01:55 UTC
Description of problem:
ABRT is used to catch crashes on Fedora, that does include Firefox crashes. But these crashes are reported by Firefox itself to the upstream project, so there is no need to have ABRT report them to bugzilla.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
start firefox and crash it...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start firefox
2. send SIGSEGV to it
3. see that firefox catched the crash and that ABRT will do so too

Actual results:
ABRT sends ureport and opens bugzilla ticket

Expected results:
ABRT does not catch firefox related crashes


Additional info:
Please "blacklist" firefox related crashes as we negotiated to to so with Martin Stransky (our firefox maintainer).

Comment 1 Jakub Filak 2014-08-20 14:08:29 UTC
Update /usr/lib/xulrunner-*/plugin-container to /usr/lib(64)/firefox/plugin-container in /etc/abrt/abrt-action-save-package-data.conf

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2014-08-20 14:12:16 UTC
I'd say we need automated anonymous reports frpm Firefox, which should be explored later. We don't need a bug for every crash, just for the most important, frequent ones.
