Use these queries to:

• find a bug that matches a problem you are seeing
• learn what users and developers have reported or asked for

Tips:

• Click "Edit Search" at the bottom of a query to see how it was created, and alter to suit your needs.
• Most queries focus on problem bugs, not user reported enhancement requests - change the "type" to "Enhancement" to get enhancements.
• The number of bugs listed in a query can be overwhelming - don't let that discourage you. Smaller, narrowly scoped queries may be an easier place to get started.
• Clear, reproducible bug reports are more likely to get fixed. You can help improve them using Thunderbird bug triage. Queries marked "(triage)" are great starting points for that purpose. You can also contact us to help with Bugdays.
