[:glob ✱]

this is working as expected.
you've asked for a bug entry form with the format of "simple".
no such format exists, so you get an error.
you can't pass in random data and expect things to work :)


the default bug entry form for users without editbugs is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided which is a radically simpler form than what you get by default.

there's links to this on the standard bug entry form: "switch to the bugzilla helper".
