Yeah, take a look at this: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/reports.cgi?product=-All-&output=show_chart&datasets=UNCONFIRMED%3A I think the number of users reporting bugs has gone up a lot, and the number confirming bugs hasn't. A while ago, I had bugs confirmed in as little as 15 minutes, or at least one day. And now I'm on my fifth day, waiting for a crashing bug, marked critical, with a testcase which causes a 100% reproducable crash, to be confirmed. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151054 I think I'll see about getting the permission to confirm bugs added to my account. By the way, I think that's a dupe of a bug on checking IMAP folders for new mail, instead of just the inbox. I believe it was a hidden pref, for bandwidth reasons. I'll look up the number tomorrow.
