Tracking flags are used by developers, triagers, QA and the release management teams to keep track of bugs whose fixes are slated to go into a particular product release.  Flags of the form tracking-firefox-26 have a ?, +, or - associated.  
Tracking flags are used by developers, triagers, QA and the release management teams to keep track of bugs whose fixes are slated to go into a particular product release.


For example, a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?f1=cf_tracking_firefox26&list_id=7974674&o1=substring&resolution=---&resolution=DUPLICATE&query_format=advanced&v1=%2B search for tracking-firefox-26 and "+"] currently shows around 50 bugs.

If you would like to suggest a bug and its fix be considered (by release managers) for a particular release, mark it with that release and a question mark. This might be good to do for a bug that's been fixed in one release channel but needs to be uplifted to another.
Tracking flags have the values:


[[Release_Management/Release_Process#All_about_Flags|More information on Firefox Flags]]
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Value !! Meaning
|-
| --- || Default/Not nominated
|-
| ? || Bug is nominated for this release
|-
| + || Bug is tracked for this release
|-
| - || Bug will not be tracked for this release
|-
| blocking || Bug is considered a blocker for this release
|}
 
Most users will only be able to [[Release_Management/Release_Process#All_about_Flags|nominate a bug for tracking]] by setting the tracking flag for a release to ''?''. The Release Drivers group (which includes Release Management) will respond to the request for tracking.
 
For example, a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?f1=cf_tracking_firefox_beta&o1=equals&v1=%2B search for tracking Firefox Beta and "+"] would list the bugs which release managers decided to track for the Beta release of Firefox.
 
If you would like to suggest a bug and its fix be considered (by release managers) for a particular release, edit the bug and set the tracking flag for that release to ''?''. This is often done for a bug that's been fixed in one release channel but needs to be uplifted to another.
