From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801 BuildID: not required After using Mozilla for a time, I found that most of the sites on the web support Mozilla even without the webmasters wish to, but in the meantime, some sites uses explorer-only keywords, or put a warning screen to any browser the webmaster don't have in his/her own computer, and sometimes even then denies the access to the site. Reproducible: Sometimes Expected Results: What I wish to see in the future Mozilla builds is a "contact webmaster" option (very old browsers, such as lynx has this option...), probably in the debug menu, and then to send him/her a letter, describing that the site doesn't apper well in some browsers, and asking to design the site to non explorer-ish browsers. It will be great if the message will be sent immediately, without opening any mail client, without telling the webmaster my details (even my email address...), and without the ISP SMTP server (-directly to the destation). This feature can be removed, in my opinion, in the offical release, or any time alike.

If a site doesn't work in Mozilla, file a bug in the Tech Evangelism product and the webmaster will be contacted. It's slower but probably more effective. There's also the problem that a site may not display because of a bug in Mozilla in which vase contacting the webmaster would be fruitless. Reassigning to Tech Evangelism to make the final call on this issue.

Reassigning to default owner and QA contact.

We actually talked about this @MozDev Day2 and NY. The idea was to write a plugin component that allowed you to capture enough information (ideally hunting for contact information and automatically analyzing the site for problems). I'm not sure if anyone ever filed a bug report about it.

hmm, this could be an interesting idea. Rubberstamp confirming to get this off my hot list.

We've considered such a thing, at least in a web based format, for reporting problems either to webmasters or to a newsgroup/mailing list. Reporting to the webmaster is problematic since it is so hard to find contact info for most sites. I think allowing 'normal' people to submit sites to a newsgroup where we could track the most popular sites that need evanging is a good idea. The subject should contain the domain in question so we can group reports by site. This would be relatively painless to implement: a simple sidebar, and a newsgroup on mozilla.org with an email front end. We could promote it on the devedge/evangelism site to get more 'normal' users although that would include lots of NS6.x users. Priority P1 to get on the radar. If no one really cares about this I will mark it WONT FIX in a few days. What do you think? Should we pursue this?

really P1 this time.

I see no problem with pursuing this other than the obvious - who will maintain such a beast?

considering my comment from 8/15, it is doa. Too much to do to and we are in no shortage of sites to evangelize. -> doa
