Breadcrumbs appends a short history of events to crash reports. These help to diagnose the cause of the attached crash by providing context around when it happened.
Breadcrumb events include:
- user-triggered actions listed in tools/metrics/actions.xml
- per-tab actions, e.g., when navigation starts/finishes
- per-browser actions, e.g., number of tabs opened/closed/moved
- memory pressure
- startup/shutdown
Breadcrumbs are not uploaded or stored on disk unless the user has consented to metrics reporting.
