As described in Bug 16719, under Additional Comments, the Component, Platform, and OS for bugs entered through enter_bug.cgi with M10 are coming up with some wildly unuseful values for some fields: Component:ActiveX Wrapper, Platform:Other, OS:other This is happening because of Bug 15841, verified 1999-10-18, but affecting M10. Suggested temporary and partial workaround: Move the message "Some fields initialized from your user-agent, Mozilla/4.7 [en] (WinNT; I). If you think it got it wrong, please tell terry@mozilla.org what it should have been." from below the FORM on enter_bug.cgi to above the form, and change it to something like: "Platform and OS should be initialized from your user-agent, XYZZY. Please check to make sure the Platform and OS are correct, and set the Component to whatever makes sense (Click the work Component for help)." This should not take too much work, and may somewhat reduce the number of unuseable reports from first-time reporters. Speculation: The OS and Platform SELECTS are having the "other" OPTION selected as a side effect of having, in effect, two OPTIONS SELECTED in a SELECT without the MULTIPLE attribute set, an error condition for which there may be no handler. The HTML 4 spec unhelpfully leaves it up to the implementer how to handle this: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.6.1

No, I'm not going to spend time tweaking pages to work around transient bugs in Mozilla.

per Terry, auto-verifying any resolved bug that hasn't been touched since before 2.10 was released.

moving all closed Bugzilla bugs to the new Bugzilla product. This batch is DUPLICATE/INVALID/WORKSFORME/WONTFIX reassigning to default owner and QA in case of the bug being reopened. Clearing milestones, since we really shouldn't have them on these types of resolutions. Sorry for the spam everyone...
