Firefox Hack - Looking up Ubuntu Bugs using Bug Number

Looking up Ubuntu bugs using the bug number can be made easy in Firefox using the following bookmark hack:

In FireFox, select the Bookmarks menu (Alt-B for English users) and then right click on the menu and select "New Bookmark...". Next, fill in the New Bookmark dialogue box as follows:


Now you can just enter into the Navigation bar "bug X" where X is the number of the bug you want to lookup and FireFox will expand to the full URL and load the page.

Kudos to Leann Ogasawara for showing me this trick.
