These bugs are all known crash bugs that have testcases already.  They are a great place to look to see what types of testcases have been created for testing crash bugs:
* Find out if older bugs still exist with the latest versions of the Mozilla Suite 1.7.13, Firefox 1.5.0.2, and/or Thunderbird 1.5.0.2.  If you can reproduce a crash with recent builds/releases, it might help bring back some interest in fixing it.  If it is no longer an issue in the latest code, it might be a good candidate for marking "Worksforme".

There are also a few things the community can do to help clean up these bugs lists:
* Find out if older bugs still exist with the latest versions of the Mozilla Suite 1.7.13, Firefox 1.5.0.2, and/or Thunderbird 1.5.0.2. 
** If you can reproduce a crash with recent builds/releases, it might help bring back some interest in fixing it. 
** If it is no longer an issue in the latest code, it might be a good candidate for marking "Worksforme" to get it off the radar.
* Find out if any of the crash bugs are a "topcrash" for a recent Mozilla, Firefox or Thunderbird release.
** If a unique stack signature in the bug returns a lot of crashes in Talkback data, it might be worth noting and investigating further.
** If you notice a top website mentioned in the bug, it might be worth looking it up in Talkback data to see if the same crash has been reported by a lot of users.
