The New Firefox Reporter Tool
Deer Park Alpha 1 and the latest Mozilla Firefox trunk builds include a tool for reporting broken websites. Known as Reporter, the tool is designed to make it easy for users to send details about sites that do not work well with Firefox. When a user encounters a problematic site, he or she can use the ‘Report Broken Web Site’ command in the Help menu to fill out a problem report with all the necessary details. The user’s description of the problem is then sent to the Mozilla Foundation together with some basic information about his or her version of Firefox.
All the submitted reports can be viewed at reporter.mozilla.org using a Web interface. Existing reports can be searched using a form similiar to the Bugzilla query page and it’s also possible to get a list of the twenty-five hosts responsible for the most reports.
