Firefox crashed and crash popup window froze - wouldn't allow me to uncheck authorization box

Hello,

Firefox recently crashed and a popup window appeared asking if I wanted to restart, and there was a box that was already checked allowing my authorization to report the incident and allowing Mozilla to use the results of the crash to help make Firefox better. I tried to uncheck the box, as I prefer to not share the information, but the window was frozen, and I had to cycle the power in my laptop to reinitialize Firefox.

Given the instability with the crash and the frozen window I'm not sure if the incident ended up being reported or not, but I didn't authorize that the incident be reported and I don't authorize Mozilla to use the information in any way. I would appreciate it if you could help to ensure that my information remains private. Security is one of the main reasons that I use Firefox.

Thanks, Rob Reiner
