    Ha! Don’t forget 194746 – “Ugly startup logo when used with -splash” (and its ancestor, the classic megabug 32218).

    > question: how do you find these?!?

    Peter6 pointed out bug 254287 on IRC because he thought it was funny. I remembered seeing the download manager bug, so I did a bugzilla quicksearch for “ALL download middle”. That didn’t find the bug, so I searched for “ALL download finger” and found it. Then I searched Bugzilla for all bugs with the phrase “looks like” in the summary and found a few more I hadn’t seen before.

    After I posted this, co-workers mentioned some bugs they had seen, which I linked to in comments.

    Are you saying that “Red star default desktop icon is offending to many people.” is ungrammatical?

    “Red star default desktop icon is offensive to many people.” would read better.

    A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MOZILLA DEVELOPER

    Those poor guys have to put up with bug reports like this one, bug #114061, which complains that Mozilla’s old Red Star desktop icon is offensive and should be changed: “Open Source is a communist method of production, so the red star is a natural symb…

    Not everyone is happy with Mozilla

    Are you one of those that think the new theme for Firefox was made by a three-year old? Or perhaps you are offended by the Red Star of Mozilla? Well, you are not alone: Jesse Rudderman: Some people are never happy   Image from: Mithgol’s splashes …
