Mozilla bugs keep getting marked as duplicates of Firefox - does this mean they will get fixed or not?

I have added bugs for Mozilla, and a few of them have been marked as duplicates of bugs in Firefox.  They are still bugs in Mozilla.  Are these bugs ignored?

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Report a Mozilla bug
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Someone marked it as a duplicate of a Firefox bug

Expected Results:  
Differentiate between bugs reported for Firefox or Mozilla, or not differentiate if there is no difference.
This product is for Bugzilla the software, not for how mozilla.org uses it. 
Moving to mozilla.org

This rather looks like a d11n bug. I mean, if someone resolves bugs as a
duplicate, it's a human fault if the resolution is not correct.

Maybe this should be documented somewhere (if it isn't already).
I marked it as an Enhancement - i.e. better documentation.

Or perhaps it shouldn't be possible to change which product a bug was originally assigned to - in which case this should remain a Bugzilla feature request/enhancement.  I guess I'll change it back :-)

Bugzilla is a software product used by LOTs of companies.  Yes, mozilla.org was
the first place to use it, but the Bugzilla product is about Bugzilla the
software, and your situation is *very* specific to mozilla.org itself and the
way it uses Bugzilla, and not with the Bugzilla software generically, thus it
does not belong in the Bugzilla product.  Even if this is a documentation issue,
the documentation in question has to do with mozilla.org procedures, not with
generic operation of Bugzilla.  Moving back to mozilla.org.  Please leave it there.

WFM.  Three of the bugs you reported are currently marked as duplicates, and
none of them are marked as duplicates of Firefox bugs.
Well, it happened, otherwise I wouldn't have posted the bug...

How do I find out all the bugs I have reported?  I might remember what I was referring to if I can do this myself.
Use http://www.squarefree.com/bugzilla/quicksearch-help.html and enter "ALL
reporter:d.drury@gmx.net"

Or use http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi, select all statuses, and use the
e-mail part of the form to specify that you have to be the reporter.
Can this bug be resolved? It seems rather useless. You'd better complain in the
bug you have filed that are now marked as duplicates. I suggest INVALID.
