Even if a fix is identified, we need to have tests in place to make  
sure the new code does not break other stuff or cause other  
regressions.  It's not as simple as "here's the fix", unfortunately.

I'd agree and say that the more a bug is reported, often (not always,  
however) the greater the chance that it will get fixed.

We (and all OSS projects) live and die by our community and bug  
reports, so please keep them coming!  A few minutes work by you could  
affect hundreds of millions of Firefox (or other OSS project) users.
