Bugzilla UX

@bugzilla #UX research, design, engineering by @koyoskeh, a longtime Mozillian & former lead dev of @BzDeck. Our tweets ≠ Mozilla’s opinion.

@JakeMatta BMO? Yes, there is a planned maintenance. https://t.co/FNRh52ls36

[Bugzilla UX @BugzillaUX]

Now Mozilla has more than 1,600,000 bugs, following Red Hat with over 1,700,000. Do you think @bugzilla is designed to accommodate such a large # of bugs?

[Bugzilla UX @BugzillaUX]

@leif81 @koyoskeh @BzDeck There are still a couple of people, but @dylan_hardison also left Mozilla a few months ago, and AFAIK no more staffer working fulltime on Bugzilla now.

[Bugzilla UX @BugzillaUX]

ANNOUNCEMENT: #Bugzilla UX is scaling down as @koyoskeh is no longer retained by #Mozilla. We don’t call an end, but most of planned enhancements, including mobile support, emoji comment reactions, kanban boards and personalized inbox like @BzDeck, are now unlikely to happen.

@triagegirl Alternatively you can use the Request Queue page like this, though the filter isn’t so flexible. https://t.co/37r0OTUbyX

#Mozilla’s @Bugzilla and some other sites use the HTML <wbr> element to insert *potential* line breaks into camel case words like SharedArrayBuffer. Now in @FirefoxNightly, you can select the entire word with a double click! Thanks for the fix 👏 https://t.co/5WUFeCbawT

@justdavemiller @jesusamezag @mozilla @bugzilla @FirefoxDevTools Oh yeah, it certainly depends on computer and browser. I took the screenshot and it’s Consolas on my Firefox for macOS.

Happy #PronounsDay! @Mozilla’s @Bugzilla has just replaced all the male/female pronouns with gender neutral ones, both in the UI and code, to make sure everyone feels comfortable while using or even developing the app. Now you decide who you are. https://t.co/88I7p1UpeU

[Bugzilla UX @BugzillaUX]

@justdavemiller @jesusamezag @mozilla @bugzilla That’s Consolas. You can always inspect a webpage’s used font with @FirefoxDevTools :-)

Well, @Bugzilla needs a custom dropdown UI widget with quick filter, but in @Firefox you can do the same thing now:

Do you like me work with giant select lists in forms? There is a hidden feature (dom.forms.selectSearch pref) in Firefox to search the one option you want. This is a Firefox hidden gem :)

@triagegirl @TatumCreative @kendallcorner Good news, we already have a bug for that. It will be removed in favour of a tiny toast notification. https://t.co/NFBBeiwP9U

#DYK You can enjoy #DarkMode on Mozilla’s #Bugzilla thanks to #CSS prefers-color-scheme media query! Change your operating system’s appearance and see how the page looks in your favourite browser. https://t.co/taNBvGkb1q

Project meeting today at 1pm PDT/9pm UTC. Streaming links at https://t.co/7F5Ypu8JA9 -- @dylan_hardison says he's got cool stuff for us today!

[Bugzilla UX @BugzillaUX]

@13e0stat @bugzilla @firefox There are many differences between Mozilla’s Bugzilla and upstream Bugzilla 5.x, so it’s difficult to use it as is. Everyone can enjoy the new theme when Bugzilla 6 is out.

[Bugzilla UX @BugzillaUX]

🚨Today we’re rolling out our brand-new skin on Mozilla’s @bugzilla! If you’re using @firefox 67+ (currently Beta, shipping tomorrow), Safari 12.1+ or Chrome 76+, it will be #DarkMode depending on your system’s appearance. Ready to join the dark side?

[Bugzilla UX @BugzillaUX]

Happy to see Slack joining the party! Reminder: you can enjoy #DarkMode on Mozilla’s #Bugzilla by changing your operating system’s appearance. It’s a magic of #CSS. #GoDark

[Slack @SlackHQ]

SO! Finally! Here we have it: For those who need it, who want it, who have asked for it or who could just use it occasionally — dark mode is now available on the desktop app as well as mobile, for everyone. Read more: https://t.co/2KXjYlDWkU

[Bugzilla UX @BugzillaUX]

@s_hentzschel Okay now I understand what you mean. Bug is here: https://t.co/1ipkHTcIN1

[Bugzilla UX @BugzillaUX]

Latest on BMO: We have reorganized the bug page to make it easier to find the fields you’re looking for. #UX #IA

[Bugzilla UX @BugzillaUX]

@s_hentzschel Have we ever had “an additional field for the earliest version with a fix” on Mozilla’s Bugzilla? That’s the Milestone field itself, I assume. Other Bugzilla instances may have a different custom field though.

[Bugzilla UX @BugzillaUX]

@s_hentzschel We know Tracking Flags can be messy; will figure out how to improve the display of these fields. Aside from Milestone, there are many redundancies in the fields. You can read some analysis here: https://t.co/DpYhWZgvAA
