Somewhat of a problem, yes.  I'll explain better below.

Yes, "Report a bug : Bugs in Mozilla Firefox : Mozilla Firefox" is
better, and I understand that fix is in the works.  But "Report a bug
in Mozilla Firefox" is better still. ;) :)

This is a good suggestion.  We should do this, but still is "Report a
bug : Bugs : Mozilla Firefox" better than "Report a bug in Mozilla
Firefox" for a page title?

The problems with this I see may be specific to bugs in that we have
lots of steps in a breadcrumb that end up with the word "bug" in them,
e.g.

"Do foo to bug #1 : bug #1 : Bugs : Mozilla Firefox."

However, I'll admit my bias for thinking human readable page titles
are always preferable to a constructed one like this.

Note that I talked to Martin and Barry about these issues and have
some resolution to the questions I raised.  I'll reply with that info
in another follow-up mail, so as not to confuse those points with the
questions you raised.

Cheers,
deryck
