Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

- Launch firefox
- Enter "about:crashcontent" in the URL bar
- Upon hitting return, the tab should crash and display the "This tab just 
crashed" page
- Ensure that the checkmark to send the crash report is ticked
- Add a comment (anything will do, a non-empty comment ensures that the crash 
is accepted by Mozilla crash reporting back-end)
- Click on "Restore this tab"
- Go to the "about:crashes" page

Expected behaviour:

In the "about:crashes" page the crash is displayed among the submitted
crash reports, showing that the crash report was indeed submitted
correctly.

Actual behaviour:

The crash appears among the unsubmitted crashes.

This bug is specific to the packaged version of Firefox that comes with
Ubuntu. I've tried reproducing using Mozilla's builds and crash
submission works correctly there. See this bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1583247 on Mozilla's
tracker regarding this behaviour. In Mozilla we noticed the issue
because we've started properly processing crash reports coming from
Ubuntu and tab crashes were strangely few. Feel free to contact me
directly at gsve...@mozilla.com about this issue since I'm in charge of
Firefox crash reporting machinery.
