Improve intro part 2
* learn what users and developers have reported or asked for
Most queries focus on "problems" (some narrowly focused), not user reported enhancement requests.  These queries are great useful examples for learning now to improve your own bug queries - click "Edit Search" at the bottom of a query page to see how the query was created, and alter them to suit your needs. Most focus on "problems", not user reported enhancement requests - change "type" to "Enhancement" to get enhancements. Bugzilla, and the number of bugs reports it contains can be overwhelming - don't let that discourage you. [[Thunderbird:Bug Queries#Function and UI Based Queries|Smaller, narrowly scoped queries]] may be an easier place to get started.
Clear, reproducible bug reports are more likely to get fixed, and you can help improve them using [[Thunderbird:Bug_Triage|Thunderbird bug triage]]. Queries marked '''"(triage)"''' are great starting points for that purpose. You can also contact us to help with [[Thunderbird:Bugdays|Bugday]]s.
