13 year old Firefox bug

11 pointsby shaundrabout 12 years ago
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63895<p>Ran in to this for the 2nd time recently. Is firefox the new browser to work around? It's been working properly in IE for years.<p>Clear example: http://jsfiddle.net/YjHaB/9/<p>How is it that some bugs go neglected for this long?

The last time I checked (ca. early 2012), there were tens of thousands of untriaged bugs in the Moz Bugzilla instance. Add to that unresolved bugs in the 3M+ lines code base and multiple platforms supported, and the job is obviously huge. There simply aren't enough people working on such things to keep up.<p>It is an open source project, so there is something that one can do about such things beyond complaining.

&#62; How is it that some bugs go neglected for this long?<p>I think it's because no one fixed it yet.
