 3. Reporting bugs

Bugs discovered should be reported by filing bug reports.  If you can describe a bug without giving any proprietary information, you should file the bug report in mozilla.org's bug database Bugzilla.  You will need a Bugzilla account, which can be obtained easily from the Bugzilla main page.  If proprietary information cannot be avoided in a bug description, you can file the bug report in Bugsplat.

The following information is required in a bug report

  • platform (Solaris 2.6, HP-UX 11.0, etc.)
  • number of cpus in the system
  • a stack trace, in the event of a crash
  • reproducibility of the problem
  • location of core dump, if available, along with those for the libraries and executables
