Bug 1666183 - Import the crash reporting doc from MDN r=gsvelto,dmajor

Crash reporting

===============

Firefox ships with an open-source crash reporting system. This system is

combination of projects:

-  `Google

   Breakpad <https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad>`__

   client and server libraries

-  Mozilla-specific crash reporting user interface and bootstrap code

-  `Socorro <https://github.com/mozilla-services/socorro>`__ Collection

   and reporting server

Where did my crash get submitted?

---------------------------------

Crash data submitted using the Mozilla Crash Reporter is located on

`crash-stats <https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/>`__. If you want to find

a specific crash that you submitted, you first need to find the Crash ID

that the server has assigned your crash. Type ``about:crashes`` into

your location bar to get a page listing both submitted and unsubmitted

crash reports. For more information, see `How to get a stacktrace for a

bug report </en-US/docs/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report>`__.

Reports and queries

-------------------

crash-stats has built-in reports of "topcrashes" for each release

grouped by signature. There is also a custom query tool which allows

users to limit searches on more precise information.

Finally, a set of Mozilla employees have access to directly query the

underlying data in either SQL summary or using mapreduce on the storage

cluster. If you are interested in obtaining this advanced access,

contact `Gabriele Svelto <mailto:gsvelto@mozilla.com>`__.
