Mozilla, Firefox Criticized for a Pestilence of Bugs

A community lead for Mozilla has severed his ties with the Mozilla community, taking the browser maker to task for the large number of bugs within to the operating system.

Tyler Downer, who describes himself as a "community lead" for Mozilla, said in a series of blog posts that Mozilla did not have an effective method of dealing with "triage," or addressing all of the bug notifications that users had taken the time to submit. Downer was a volunteer at Mozilla, and not a formal employee.
