- ck2 15y agoIf I said "the firefox project has 6000 open bugs" would that have been better? Now realize that's just semantics. For the record I am a diehard firefox user, 6000 bugs or not.
- robin_reala 15y agoNot really. The actual number of bugs (not enhancements) confirmed as legitimate (NEW, ASSIGNED, REOPENED) but not fixed across both the Firefox (interface) and core (backend) projects in Bugzilla is 31,992.[+] This doesn’t matter. At the end of the day it’s about severity. If Firefox ships with 31,992 critical end-user visible bugs then it’ll be rightly panned. It hasn’t been, therefore the large majority of the issues aren’t that severe, therefore they can be dealt with at a slower pace.
