Breakpad is an open-source replacement for the Talkback crash reporting system. Talkback was closed-source and largely abandoned, making it difficult to fix long-standing problems. Another problem was that Talkback was never ported to Intel Mac. Switching to Breakpad means Firefox 3 will ship without closed-source components and will have crash reporting on all major platforms.
Ted Mielczarek (aka luser), one of the Breakpad developers, provided instructions for looking up crash reports and filing bugs related to the crash reporter. He also explained that Talkback is still enabled for 50% of nightly users on Windows to allow comparison of the two systems.
The breakpad client and server are still rough. The server-side processing of Mac reports is currently busted. Real crash-reporting UI and Linux support are coming soon.
