Things to remember when filing a bug:<br \/>\n(a) Always include the Build ID that you tested on. If you type about:<br \/>\nin the URL bar, this will give you the Build ID.<br \/>\n(b) Always include clear Steps to Reproduce the bug<br \/>\n(c) Always check to see if your bug has already been filed.<br \/>\n(d) Use the regression keyword if it indeed a regression from a previous<br \/>\nrelease.<br \/>\n(e) If you happen to crash, please submit your crash information! This<br \/>\nhelps us continually improve the product. Please also include the<br \/>\nBreakpad Crash ID in the bug. You can get the crash ID by typing<br \/>\nabout:crashes in the URL bar.<br \/>\n(f) If you tend to run with lots of extensions, try starting Firefox in<br \/>\nSafe Mode before filing to bug to see if the problem persists.<\/p>\n<p>(2) If you don&#8217;t wish to file a bug, report issues through the Firefox<br \/>\nFeedback button, <a href=\"http:\/\/feedback.mozilla.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/feedback.mozilla.org<\/a> or through the<br \/>\nmozilla.feedback.firefox.prerelease newsgroup (also available on Google<br \/>\nGroups).
