That is not true, please stop spreading misinformation.

I've never seen a case where developers corrected a bug a user found.

You are not looking hard enough. Look harder. I fixed the following bugs:

Bug 86400  reported by David Carroll
Bug 156734 reported by Jeremy M. Dolan
Bug 388349 reported by Ed
Bug 395371 reported by arno renevier
Bug 414014 reported by Eyal Rozenberg
Bug 482433 reported by Chris Wimlett
Bug 534248 reported by Aleksej
Bug 534322 reported by Kevin Brosnan

Actually I fixed more but I got bored searching through bugzilla.

Technically your not a User.  You work on Plugins and extensions so you
are a developer. I  like most people no thing at all about the
mechanics.  Heck I only just recently learned about what I could  CSS.
All I know is when I use something what it did or would do, and what not
is not doing or can no longer do  And Try to explain to the best of my
abilities Which most make light of. But its the best I can do.


What you're alluding to is that developers only fix bugs for their own
enjoyment/amusement and that "users" don't count. Where in heaven's name
do you get this stuff, Phillip?



well in a way that's true because Open source depends upon people or companies that want to wish to donate free time. They have day jobs and do this in spare time. It could be for entertainment.

But what was I was really trying get across is that developers tend to fix bugs if other developers point out mistakes. But non techie users they just roll their eyes at and move on.
