When you read the whole account, everything has a justifiable reason and the entire thing is very rational. But if you look at the 10000ft view, if an app hangs and refuses to work at all due to nasty/unexpected input coming over the network, that is just a bad bug. These sorts of bugs should have been caught earlier. It shouldn't matter if the entire internet is sending bad responses, Firefox should still handle it gracefully.
It does not need this big of an explanation. It's just a silly bug, they can do better by improving their testing. The lady doth protest too much.
- rockdoe 5y agoI think the length of the explanation is due to the impact this had. Most Firefox bugs don't cause all Firefoxes everywhere to stop working simultaneously. That's quite the WTF and it's hard to understand how it is even possible without the explanation.
