=== Bugzilla === | |||
For those who are new, Bugzilla is a system for reporting bugs in software. Mozilla uses Bugzilla to report and track bugs in its programs, but also for reporting and tracking other issues.

Extension owners may create entries when they want their extension added to UMO. | |||
