Currently more than half of the bugs that do get filed end up wasting time rather than helping (duplicates, invalid, already fixed in a newer version, no one else can reproduce). These are not minor benefits, the situation would be far worse with drive-by bug reporting.
still, you're losing more than you may expect. i know i've failed to file bug reports (non-security related) for mozilla products due to this "speed bump".
It is a real problem, knowing where to draw the line is hard. For people who don't wish to get as involved there are other places bugs could be reported more informally (newsgroups, web forums, irc) and other volunteers would most likely file the bugs for you if they can be reproduced. http://www.mozilla.org/support/#community -Dan Veditz _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
