Description

Attachment: Screenshot

(Punting to 1.4.1, but as QA, I'd happily take and test a fix for this in 1.4.)

STR:

1. Load http://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/forum/1&openpost=1
2. Click on "Ask a New Question"
3. Choose "Problems with settings, bookmarks, passwords or other data stored by Firefox" and click "Next step"
4. Type something, click "Next step"
5. Click "Submit your question"

Actual Results:

"You left the Description field blank

Please provide a more detailed description.
Are you sure you want to proceed?

I'll fix this"

Expected Results:

We should change the message a little bit; you can't bypass this check, so maybe just remove the "Are you sure you want to process?" portion?

(Also, if you want to apply some minor CSS to bring the error title/condition and its accompanying text more in alignment, I won't balk!)

This looks good. Should we consider marking the description field somehow differently with CSS, to show that it's required? Maybe the classic (*) ?
