User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Settings for bugzilla.

Today i entered in bug 268913 under firefox as i knew from dong a search that
the people doing firefox development would not see that a bug under mozilla #
84223 Aslo esisted. It also happens to exist in Netscape 7.2 but unfortunetaly
bugs there aren't listed here as well.

It would be nice if i could click on somthing or to have multiple locations for
builds affected so that i could have added the bug to firefox as well without
having to create a whole new case so that the firefox specific developers are
aware it occurs in mozzilla and the mozzilla people are aware it occurs in
firefox and maybee they could work together on this issues.

As for the not affected it would be nice to have a not effected area so i could
check off Camino was not affected by this bug. Although i guess just putting it
in the notes is enough.

If a bug is in common code, someone will move it into the appropriate common component. We don't need to load the responsibility of checking lots of products on to bug filers.

I understand that they should not be required to do take that time. However I feel that if they have taken the time on their own initiative they should be able to submit that it is a common code base issue affecting multiple products.
