Back talk is good. Mozilla talkback is a public service

Today everyone’s favourite FOSS project, The Mozilla Foundation, are in my good books.

While tracking down some weird bug at work. I found out the that all those talkbacks you submit when your browser crashes are publicly available. This is super if you are getting reported issues with Firefox on your site. Working with your knowledge of your site’s code and a helpful Firefox hacker it isn’t too hard to quickly pin-point the issue.

This is yet another example of the Open Source model at it’s best. You can bet your bum Microsoft won’t share their crash reports so freely.
