Yes I suspect that busybox advice is either outdated or on longer
recommended. I've never used that tool.
I also think that we should push the "getting crash ids from command
line" up to the top as it's the most basic advice for a novice or
dogfooder (ie not an internal developer) who has experienced a crash.
I can't speak for the forcing a crash but it sounds like it might be
outdated too.
At least now we'll have this info indexed on MDN.

Hi Zac!
See this page:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Debugging/Firefox_OS_crash_reporting
I have added in a bunch of details that I thought relevant, but I’m sure there
is more to add and improvements to make.
Some questions:
1. When using the About Crashes app, I
- advised that they use the ADB Helper addon, instead of typing the
port forwarding command each time.
- added in instructions for WebIDE as well as app manager
- added in an instruction on how to enable certified app debugging, as
About Crashes is a certified app
2. In the "Getting crash ids from the command line” section, I could get either
of the commands to work, even after installing busybox. It just gave me a directory
not found error. I guess I just need to correct reports directory
3. In the "How to Force a crash” section, I am not sure I’ve got these
instructions right. I say this because when I forced the crash, it bricked my device
and I had to recover it ;-)

Hi Chris/et al,
Twice this week we've been asked in IRC about getting crash reports from
Firefox OS device. Most of our contributors are used to just doing
about:crashes but this isn't supported on Firefox OS.
It made me realise we don't have any of this documented on MDN.
The best info we have in public is here (and even it is a bit outdated):
https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/QA/Tips_And_Tricks#Crashes
Chris can you start the page where it is most appropriate, link us to it and
we'll contribute? (There are some desktop firefox crash reporting pages - I'm
not sure where to put the Firefox OS one).
Thanks,
Zac
