User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060830 Firefox/1.5.0.7 (Debian-1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-1)

Don't get angry, but I (jidanni) reported at least 50 firefox bugs to bugs.debian.org as I can only use email, and just barely this web interface, here in my batched environment. Do check there to see if there are any worthy bugs, and in the future, I will make a script to submit bugs via this HTTPS form.

Reproducible: Always

Now the Debian people have mass-closed many Firefox bugs...
Please have a peek at them in the above URL... which should include the closed bugs, so these perhaps valuable bugs don't go to waste.

Comment 2

[Andre Klapper]

This is a general problem in open source. I'd expect "downstream" projects to forward useful reports to upstream (that's e.g. what most distros do by forwarding tickets to GNOME or KDE) but Debian probably does not have enough manpower to do that.
Probably easiest to either submit reports upstream if you are sure that it's also an upstream issue, or to switch to a distribution that invests more time in forwarding reports to application authors and/or has enough manpower.
If there are issues that are still valid in recent supported versions of Firefox, please file separate bug reports in bugzilla.mozilla.org, but this report here is simply unfixable as per the amount of reports that it links to in Debian bugtracker. Hence closing.

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Bugzilla.mozilla.org is a tool for our developers and you as user can report bugs here. We can't fix all bugs that we get and we can't even triage all incoming reports due to lack of manpower.
Many reports that can not be reproduced or the reporter can't provide testcases and there is no other choice as to close those bugs.

This report itself is no real bug and can't be fixed -> invalid
