That button on that message leads to the Data Choices section of the Options/Preferences page:

Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences > Advanced

There is a mini-tab labeled "Data Choices" that describe the data you can choose to send (or not send) to Mozilla.

I suggest keeping the crash reporter turned on. You can always decide after an individual crash not to send the data for that specific crash.

Sorry for only giving you the "Windows" answer the first time!
