From https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/skins/standard/global.css : #footer span { display: block; } This is asking for trouble. In particular, if you use Firefox's Find Toolbar on any https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ page, search for "s", and click the Highlight button, the Bugzilla footer explodes because the Find Toolbar adds a <span> element around every instance of the letter "s". Firefox is being buggy when it adds the spans (bug 256990), but Bugzilla shouldn't break every time a browser or bookmarklets or Greasemonkey script adds some <span> elements to the page.
bug 256990 has been fixed. This is no longer an issue.

Bug 256990 was fixed in a hacky way, and this could still be an issue with bookmarklets or Greasemonkey scripts. What is the purpose of Bugzilla's "#footer span { display: block; }", anyway? Why not just use DIVs there?

There are only divs in the footer. This rule doesn't get applied at all (unless I cannot read the template code correctly).

Is this still an issue? I can't find that line in the css anymore. There is now span elements in the footer (the separators). Was this rule removed when those were added?
WFM. The footer seems to be made of LI and DIV elements now. Firefox's "Highlight All" no longer runs into trouble.
