Use the queries below to:

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

These queries are 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. 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. Queries marked "(triage)" are great starting points for that purpose. You can also contact us to help with Bugdays.
