What won't let you submit a crash report? What do you see?

Some of your crash reports weren’t sent to the Mozilla Servers.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

While still in Safe Mode,

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it and select Submit.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.

Use this link to check that your plugins are up-to-date. If any are listed as unknown or research, do not worry about them.

I am supposed to start week 3 of my course next week I can't even get half way right now. If I can't get this fixed by tomorrow I will have to do double work next week which I don't have time for. Very hard to focus on course with this happening.
