In answer to your "what would constitute a good bug report?" At a minimum, add any plausibly significant details. For instance, rather than saying "I'm browsing the same site as I do every day," consider saying what site you are browsing, or possibly, list the exact URL sequence you go through (especially if the cause is entirely reproducible). if you can't repro it, try to talk about what it is that you are doing, explicitly. Do you start with 1 tab open, or 40? What are some/all of the tabs?? What is the site that seems to induce the crash? What sort of things are you doing on that site? Reading a certain set of blogs? Reading articles? Posting? etc.
The best bug report is a completely reproducible set of actions. The worst bug report doesn't give a clue as to what the user was doing near the bug event. You want to be as close as possible to the first. Anything that gives a tester a shot at tickling the bug is a giant step toward a bug getting attention, and getting fixed asap. Sometimes we see a common thread among a pile of bugs... and that gives us a clue. ...but we need some threads to consider ;-).
