Have you tried asking at the mozilla.support.firefox newgroup?


That's if you can past their moderator (Chris Ilias) who has severely
crippled that newsgroup with his prolonged absence (so pending articles
will expire), doesn't check e-mail status of submissions via their
NNTP-to-email gateway (yep, it's an mailing list first with an NNTP
gateway added), and when pointed out that he wasn't following Mozilla's
guidelines for moderators then managed to get that page removed.

If my submissions show up, they are delayed by 14 hours, or more. That
means discussions rather jerky. Some show up right away (I suspect
those are submitted through the email server rathe rather than through
the NNTP gateway or are on Chris' crony whitelist). If a subsmission
(for its new content, like in a reply) is long, like over 100 words,
Chris won't read it, so the submission expires or gets rejected. Chris
has an odd sense of what constitutes "on topic": you can ask for help
about Firefox but you cannot discuss Firefox (which he claims should go
in the general newsgroup but that discusses EVERYTHING regarding
Mozilla, not just Firefox). Even if you try to help someone by
explaining how Firefox works or why it does what it does, that
constitutes being off-topic to Chris. I can spend a lot of time in
researching and composing a reply to help someone but it has only a 15%
chance of showing up in the Firefox newsgroup. Respondents give up
because they waste a lot of time trying to help someone but cannot get
past Chris' bias and laziness.
