Bugs in bugzilla.mozilla.org are organized into a hierarchy of categories. Products are high level categories such as Firefox, FirefoxOS, Calendar, or Toolkit. | |||
This is the list of products on BMO: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi | |||
From this product list, you can click on a product name to see a list of the various components it contains. | |||
When you file a new bug, it can be difficult to know exactly where to file it. People who help manage and triage bug reports often move new bugs into a product and component that is a better fit. This helps bring the bug to the attention of developer teams who may be best equipped to fix it. | |||
Product and component are usually referred to with separating colons; Core::WebRTC or Firefox::General. | |||
Incoming bug reports filed by users new to BMO and that are in the product Firefox automatically are directed into the Untriaged component. | |||
Components can be useful for managing bugmail. Using component watching, you can set up bugmail for all bugs in a particular component. | |||
