Hey all,

I'm developing a cross-platform NPAPI+XPCOM extension for Firefox and Google Chrome (Windows, Linux and Mac). I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on the best practices of handling component crashes.

As I understand it, currently Mozilla's Crash Reporter submits mini-dumps and crash reports created to Mozilla Dev. I experimented with blocking SIGSEV to Firefox and creating my own core in the plugin code. Although that works just fine, I'm sure I'm not supposed to do that.

And Google Chrome doesn't even seem to create any core dumps! Any suggestions?
