Now you can select the product that has the bug. (In this example, I select Firefox)



Step 3


Then summarize your issue or request in one sentence and click the Find similar issues button.


Then you can see similar issues related to your bug. If it is not there… You can select My issue is not listed button.


Click the My issue is not listed button and it will navigate you to Enter A Bug form.



Step 4


So then… fill out this form clearly, and click the Submit Bug button.

After clicking the Submit Bug button. It will create the bug ID and show us everything related to that bug. If you want, you can edit or get a summary on that.
