Since 2003, I have submitted 246 bug reports. * 25 have been fixed. * 18 were closed as "Works for me", some of which I closed myself when I could no longer recreate the problem. * 57 were closed as duplicates of other bug reports. 21 of those others have been closed as either fixed or "Works for me". * Of the 94 that are still open, 31 are requests for enhancements (RFEs) and thus are not software discrepancies. * Of the 94 that are still open, another 21 involve Web sites that are sniffing for "Firefox" instead of "Gecko". These are bugs in the affected Web sites, not in any Mozilla-based product. * Of the 94 of my bug reports that are still open, 40 reflect actual software discrepancies. No, I'm not a developer. I'm a interested user who used to be a software test engineer (not for Mozilla). -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
