nothing here. Invalid.

Comment 2

Weird. Must have been truncated or something. Maybe because I had a Javascript
comment in my Bugzilla comment?

Here's the bug description again:

To prevent profile corruption, we need to improve the warning in prefs.js
against editing the file. Currently the warning is (I will omit the Javascript
comment character string):

This is a generated file!

We need to change this to something like (enclosed as a comment):

This is a generated file! Do not edit. To make a manual change to preferences,
create a text file, user.js, and put it in the same directory as prefs.js.
Entries in user.js override entries in prefs.js

So weird that you duped it two bugs later :-)

Now I think I've figured it out. I hit enter in one of the fields while I was
editing the bug. Then I hit escape. I thought that canceled the bug's creation.
Then, I saw what looked like a half bug, and tried to fill it out. My fault. Sorry.

Invalid bugs shouldn't be resolved as duplicates.
Nor should they be dup'ed when identical bugs are submitted by the same
reporter, for that matter. The last week i've seen bugs nearly hit the mostfreq
list by duplicates submitted by one person alone.

Verified as a dupe of bug 142590 to close it out. Shouldn't bug 142590 be
resolved as invalid?
