Issue 1: "Some fields, such as "URL" and "Email Address", are privacy-sensitive and are only visible to users with minidump access."[1] - So yes, you should not send crash reports when you are dealing with sensitive data. Issue 2: That is unfortunate and should be fixed. Issue 3: The issue for Fenix is not 5 years old, it is now one year old, see [2]. Regarding your ban: - "I will not apologize for being spicy about these things" - "It is a fact that you've made it intentionally difficult to use your own product to replicate functionality present in most browsers" -> See the Mozilla Participation Guidelines - "Be respectful in all interactions and communications, especially when debating the merits of different options." [3] I guess you could have phrased things differently. I will not judge if this is "enough" to ban you, but I do also not know what you were posting before this specific comment, you mention additional comments.

Thanks for clarification on #1. It confirms what I was most concerned about and that was that my phone was leaking private info to Mozilla. On Linux I don't build the crash reporter, any crashes I used to backtrace and open with my distro first before moving to upstream. On mobile, Fennic had a specific option to turn off crash reporter, Fenix only has the two 'data sharing' sections. I included the singular prior message posted the day before in my last comment on HN. I removed the part that was baseless in my second response which is what you saw.

  @ #1: To be clear, I am not a Mozilla employee. So do not take this as a confirmation, I am just quoting the documentation. @ "Fenix only has the two 'data sharing' sections." - You can always untick the checkbox in the crash reporter, see [1]: The data choice in the settings was removed in [2] and tickboxes were added at the same time in [3]. Fenix will also remember you crash reporting choice in the following crashes, you can test this yourself using - warning, this will crash your browser - about:crashparent. Thanks for including your previous message: I think the ban was primarily based on your first message, but that is just my personal opinion. Hopefully you get more details from your report.
