Don't know if this helps
The crash numbers you posted are no good. Did you follow the posted instructions?
If a line on the about:crashes page doesn't start with "bp-" then click the line to submit the report and the link will be updated and gets a "bp-" prefix if the report is submitted successfully.
- please do not add the "bp-" prefix yourself
