The "MozillaTeam/Bugs" page has been changed by chrisccoulson:

  Note, you many need to enable the menuitem to access the error console. To do this, open "about:config", and set "devtools.errorconsole.enabled" to "true"
  
  == Other specific issues ==
+ === Problems with menus on systems that use a global menubar ===
+ 
+ By default, the unity shell shipped in Ubuntu 11.04 and newer displays application menubars in the top panel.  Some other desktop environments may also provide similar functionality (there is a plasmoid for KDE which does this).
+ 
+ In these environments, problems with the menus are not always an application bug.
+ 
+ If you experience an issue with the '''content''' of the menubar, menus or menuitems (ie, what the actual text says, what the icons display or the state of any radio or check items), then this should be reported as an application bug (against Firefox or Thunderbird).  If you experience an issue with '''actions''' (ie, what happens when you click on a menuitem), then this might be an application bug too.
+ 
+ In general, any problem with the '''view''' of the menubar, menus or menuitems is normally a bug with the desktop shell instead.  Examples of this might include:
+  * Alignment of elements in the menu
+  * Colour or theming of the menus
+  * Menus not responding correctly to events (ie, submenus not opening on mouseover or menuitems not highlighting on mouseover)
+  * Menus appearing in the wrong place
+  * Menus appearing behind windows
+  * Problems with how large menus overflow
+  * Menus not hiding when clicking on another area of the screen, or multiple menus appearing at the same time
+ 
+ If you have an issue like any of the above, please don't report a bug against Firefox or Thunderbird.  You should report a bug against the particular desktop shell you are using instead (ie, unity).
+ 
+ ==== No context menu available in the global menubar / can't manage bookmarks using the global menubar ====
+ 
+ When using Unity, there is no context menu in any of the window menus, and the menus do not provide the ability to drag and drop bookmarks to sort them.  '''This is not a bug'''.  Here is an explanation why:
+ 
+  * The menus are not a bookmark editor.  Firefox already has a dedicated tool for managing bookmarks
+  * No other application on the default install provides a context menu in its window menus.  Not having one in Firefox improves consistency and removes an element of surprise (ie, when you right click on a menu in another application and realize that it invokes the menuitems action rather than showing a context menu)
+  * The functionality is not supported by any other components involved with providing the menubar (ie, dbusmenu, unity and even GTK), and so, there isn't any change we could make in Firefox that would add this functionality to the global menubar.
+ 
+ Please don't report this issue as a bug.
+ 
+ === The "Open with" dialog does not offer a choice of applications ===
+ 
+ When downloading a file type that Firefox is unable to view, Firefox presents a dialog that gives you the option of saving the file to disk or opening the file with an application installed on your system ("Open With").  However, "Open With" currently only offers the default handler for the particular file type, and the only way to specify an alternative application is to navigate the filesystem.
+ 
+ This is a Firefox limitation that we're already well aware of.  Please don't report new bugs for this problem.

  === "Secure Connection Failed" errors ===
  
  If you see a warning with the title "Secure Connection Failed" and the text "The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)" when visiting a website with a https URL, then this means that Firefox is not able to chain the websites certificate to a trusted CA.
