To test the Crash Reporter UI and other crash-related behavior, you can make use of install the [http://people.mozilla.com/~tmielczarek/crashme/ Crash Me addon] (sources are on [http://code.google.com/p/crashme/ Google Code].) This extension is already Metro Firefox ready, so you just need to follow similar steps as for the DOM Inspector to enable it.

This extension is already Metro Firefox ready, so you just need to follow similar steps as for the DOM Inspector to enable it.  
* Install the Crash Me addon (if you do not have it already) on your desktop firefox
* Install the Crash Me addon (if you do not have it already) on your desktop firefox
* Copy the 'crashme@ted.mielczarek.org' folder under your Firefox profile's extension directory over to your MetroFirefox profile extensions directory. (Example: C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\MetroFirefox\Profiles\amrcb8eg.default\extensions)
* While in Metro mode, go to about:config and make sure both 'app.crashreporter.prompted' and 'app.crashreporter.autosubmit' preferences are set to false
* - OR - you can just download and unzip the .xpi file into a crashme@ted.mielczarek.org folder in your profile extensions directory
* Make sure to set the 'extensions.defaultProviders.enabled' preference, as mentioned here: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=946296 bug 946296]
* To allow discovery and install of add-ons, set extensions.autoDisableScopes to 15, either via your local metro.js or in about:config
* Open the "Settings" charm and choose the "Crash Now" entry. Tap/click it to crash
* If you are using a local build, you may need to edit the metroapp.ini (generated from the metroapp.ini.in template) to ensure the Crash Reporter Enabled=1 flag is set.
* Restart Metro. You should see the crash dialog as shown here: [https://bug903426.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8343538 screenshot]
 
To use, you'll find a new "Crash Now!" entry in the Settings charm. Tap it to crash.
