Details

[Affected versions]:

  • 68.0.2
  • 69.0b15
  • 70.0a1 (2019-08-19)

[Affected platforms]:

  • Windows 10
  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • MacOS 10.12

[Steps to reproduce]:

  1. Crash the browser by typing about:crashparent inside the URL bar
  2. Check the "Allow Mozilla to contact me about this report" option
  3. Enter some random characters inside the "Enter your email address here" input field
  4. Press the Enter key or click one of the "Quick Firefox"/"Restart Firefox"buttons

[Expected result]:

  • An error message that notifies the user to enter a valid email is triggered.

[Actual result]:

  • No error is triggered, user can insert/summit an invalid mail.

[Regression range]:

  • This is not a regression, reproducible way back to Fx 30.0a1.

Socorro/Crash Stats doesn't do anything with email addresses other than display them. Figured I'd mention that in case it helps figure out whether to validate and if so, how intense the validation should be.

Priority: -- → P3

Note that we're planning to rewrite the crash reporter client from scratch so I'm definitely taking this into account in the new implementation.

We have removed the e-mail field from the crash reporter dialogs, closing this.
