<JasonCEager>	Well, I'm also sick of seeing an OBVIOUS bug in a new nightly
build, coming on here, asking 2.49 E23 times "Has someone already reported this
bug?", getting no answer...doing a query, not really finding anything, and then ...
<JasonCEager>	finally filing the bug.

That's the basic rationalle behind this request...lots of times, there's
an OBVIOUS bug that appears in a new nightly build, and people don't know
whether to file a bug or not because it seems that SOMEONE would have
already filed a bug on it, but we're not sure.

Moreover, it would let us know if this was a stupid bug with a quick fix,
and it will be fixed in tomorrow's build or if this is going to take
a lot of work to fix.

The link should basically query bugzilla for all bugs that have been
CREATED in the last 24 hours or REOPENED in the last 24 hours.

Yes, I'm sure there is a way to do this on the query page...but
this would be a GREAT convenience for people trying out nightly
builds, and it would really cut down on dups.

Ok, Here's a URL that would create the search that I'm talking about:

1) It searches the "bug created field" for entries that are 1 day old or less.
2) It returns bugs of ALL status (So bugs that are reported and fixed the same
day are included.
3) It only returns bugs on the Browser product.

Here's the URL (will be long).

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&email1=&emailtype1=substring&emailassigned_to1=1&email2=&emailtype2=substring&emailreporter2=1&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&changedin=1&votes=&chfield=%5BBug+creation%5D&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&product=Browser&short_desc=&short_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&bug_file_loc=&bug_file_loc_type=substring&status_whiteboard=&status_whiteboard_type=substring&keywords=&keywords_type=anywords&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=&cmdtype=doit&order=Bug+Number

I'm going to grab the current bugzilla page, add that link to it, and then add
it as an attachment to this bug.
