Any bug that was reported on a previous version and now works should be resolved to FIXED. Then it should be verified.
I disagree... this is what WORKSFORME is for... unless you know what fixed it. A variety of things may have happened since the initial report (from a site changing its code to work around the problem to mozilla code not following the same code path, to the bug actually being fixed you just don't know by what code). I generally avoid fixed unless I have a patch or a bonsai query or something to refer to.
No, WFM should only be used within a short period after the bug is filed IMO, using the original build or something close to it. If you're looking at a bug from 2002, and it was previously demonstrated to be broken, but now it works, then it was obviously fixed in the mean time. Even if you don't know WHAT fixed it, even if the person who fixed it didn't know about the bug, it's still FIXED.
It's important because if JoeUser files a bug, and no one fixes it intentionally, and then sometime later it's WFM'd then it makes it look as if JoeUser is filing bogus bugs. That's why Fixed is better. Some people pay attention to these things, and care how many bugs X Y or Z person files and how many of them are valid vs. bogus.
yadda yadda yadda.
