Earlier quoted context omitted.

JWZ calls this the CADT development model. Not linking to his site, as he’s prone to redirecting HN-referred traffic to weird places

CADT?

"Cascade of Attention-Deficient Teenagers".

JWZ is not known for his subtlety.

It was not a bug. It was a feature request.

I would appreciate it if an HN moderator would change the title.

I opened bug #337051 in 2006 and it got closed in 2016. While I can't take any credit for the actual squashing of the bug it feels good having contributed to an important and very long-term project like Firefox.

I just found it amusing, I had forgotten all about this it was so long ago. I hope it doesn't turn into a pile-on on mozilla, who after all make my favorite browser.

I knew this was about Firefox without looking at the url.

Closed because it became irrelevant in Nov 2017. I guess that's resolved.

Few months ago QA at my workplace found a bug with my work but I couldn't reproduce it. Turns out they're using Chrome and I'm using Firefox, and after reading some docs & specs, I concluded that Firefox's behavior is not correct. I'm about to file a bug and turns out that I found a same issue that's filed 20 years ago, and it's still open today: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156090 Quite amusing...
