Firefox/BrowserErrorCollection

To better discover errors in our software, Nightly collects data about JavaScript errors thrown from the browser chrome, or the user interface for the browser itself. These are not errors with webpages, but with Firefox itself. We collect these errors so that we can more quickly notice, diagnose, and fix issues in Nightly before they reach Firefox Beta and release Firefox.
