I gave this reason for marking with Low importance as that wording was given to me bu a Canonical developer in one of my own bug reports earlier this year. Probably said to reflect the likelihood of being fixed. > > Reproduced bug using current versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird > > Looked for an upstream report but didn't find one > > Updated bug report to confirm bug still current > > Created upstream report and linked report ID > > Would mark with "Low" importance as affects limited scope of an > > application > > Updated with revised Mozilla bug as my report was a duplicate of an > > existing report that had not found when searching > I would triage this as "Medium" according to "A bug that has a moderate > impact on a core application.

This bug was filed against Firefox, not Thunderbird which I believe is not installed by default. Even if the reasoning was "Bugs that have a moderate impact on a non-core application " the importance would still be "Low". Thank you for taking the time and to reply. It's very much appreciated.
