Have you considered the fact that this action may take place after the package was neglected for some time, so the person asking you for confirmation is not the person who received the initial bug report? I have no idea whether this is true for firefox, but that is a pretty common situation: one of the first tasks of someone taking a package over is to try digging in old bugs and triage them. So, well, during the time we're having this discussion, you could probably have confirmed all such bugs already by just answering "as I already wrote in the bug report, this is a trivial to reproduce bug and it is still there".
