188185 - Add a Help - Navigator Bug Report menu

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Camino Graveyard :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Stephane Moureau]

Add a Help - Navigator Bug Report pointing directly to URL (if it's the good one
for the public):
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Chimera

Perhaps on another page, that will automatically fill the URL field with the
Referrer (previous page) or a button ~"Insert Previous Location into URL field".

The Help - Navigator Feedback is too exhaustive to hope to see lot of users to
take time to report a simple problem, you must travel via 3 pages before being
able to find, if you have read them 'carefuly', where to report a bug.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/chimera/feedback.html

Perhaps it's still to soon to add such a direct link to Chimera Enter Bug, but
we are enough to deal the additional 'incorrect' reports that will be produced.

i'm tempted to mark this wontfix --mainly because i wouldn't want this to go
directly to bugzilla, especially if it might be a dup (unfortunately, we get a
lot of dups) or invalid. i guess i feel the opposite here, and would rather have
users become more informed (eg, reading the feedback page, relnotes, or even
search bugzilla) before jumping to file out a bug report. (imho :)

Perhaps a link to bugzilla then? It is a nice idea, but I don't think we can
deal with the influx of random bug mail. We can barely deal with the feedback alias!

I agree with the WONTFFIX, for several reasons:
1. we have Talkback to give us data about crashes
2. we don't want the button to go to bugzilla, but to do something more like
   safari
3. we don't have the manpower to go through received reports, or evangelise all
   the broken sites.

Mass move of mis-filed bugs out of obsolete component; apologies for bugspam.
