Details

If there's a broken link in mozilla.org, you are taken to a page that says
'Please file a bug' with a link that should take you to a bugzilla page where
you can file a bug. That does not work.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Go to http://www.mozilla.org/unix/
2) Click 'Netscape Portable Runtime', which links to
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/refList/refNSPR (a nonexistant page at the moment;
if it's fixed when you are checking, find another broken link)
3) See that the link is broken; you get a 404 page. It says: referring page is
blah blah, please file a bug to let us know. The 'file a bug' part is a link to 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=mozilla.org&component=webmaster@mozilla.org&format=__default__&short_desc=[404]+link+to+http://www.mozilla.org/docs/refList/refNSPR&rep_platform=All&op_sys=All&bug_file_loc=http://www.mozilla.org/unix/
I don't know if this will wrap in the bugzilla display; anyway, if it does you
know what to do.
4) Click that link. The page you are on says 'Format not found.  The requested
format default does not exist with a content type of html.'

If I cut the 'format=__default__' out of the link, I do end up on a page where I
can enter the bug. So that is probably what should be done.

Note that the broken link I took as an example above is subject matter of bug
278080.
FIXED, thanks for the report.

Just a note, if you remove the "format=__default__" from the URL, all the form
prefill stuff won't work for people that don't have canconfirm privs (the link
will only work for people with canconfirm without that)
Anne: if you got rid of the __default__ thing from the URL, please put it back.
 The bug on the bugzilla-side that was killing this has been fixed.  See comment 4.
Should be ok again.
