The MozillaTeam has certain requirements that bug summary/description have to fulfill before qualifying for status confirmed. The templates below outline the bug description format required for further processing.

Summary

A comprehensible line describing the bug. Avoid using general words here (like "misbehaves"); those might catch false-duplicate comments which make bug processing cumbersome.

Steps to reproduce

We need simple, precise instructions here. If an extension needs to be installed, this should be included as one step.

Expected Result

Describe the expected result as simple and precise as possible.

Actual Result

Describe the actual result as simple and precise as possible.
