It's very simple: a user tries to do something with Firefox and fails. The
technician says the problem is not caused by Firefox. The user does not have the
problem with Safari, so to the user Firefox is buggy. Well, the user is always
right, even if he's wrong.

Whether or not the user is wrong, this is bug 268570.

We can never fix all problems in Firefox if the criteria for a Firefox bug is "a
user thinks firefox has a problem". If the user is wrong, then the user is
wrong. There's nothing for us to do in this case.
