Related bugs
Since I'm not hacking on Firefox or any Mozilla products per se, finding bugs related to my project is sort of difficult. To get in the right direction I tried searching Bugzilla for 'vmware', 'xen', 'kvm', and 'try server'. Here are a few results:
- 386091 Firefox Profiles in VMware Host create multiple files
- 393092 tracking bug for next try server version
- 393259 Try server slaves should not use anonymous pserver on cvs.mozilla.org for checking out
