Not at least for nightly trunk builds on Windows. While waiting for Talkback to return, a question: In what format do the Mozilla developers prefer to receive Mozilla crash data on the Windows platform? For some crash bug reports I have been using Inspector IIXII (<http://www.opera.com/support/search/supsearch.dml?index=432>) instead of the default Windows crash handler (Dr. Watson) since IIXII seems to generate a crash log in a format that at least the Opera browser developers prefer. Does anyone have any insight, what's the most useful crash handler? What to use, in order to be most helpful and informative when submitting bug reports? -Sebastian
