+== Bug Triage Guidelines ==
+We use [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org Bugzilla] to track a combination of both bugs and new features. As such, we employ a hybrid system of Bugzilla priority and, optionally, a backlog priority (noted as <code>[layout:pX]</code> in the bug's whiteboard field). This allows us the flexibility of indicating high-priority backlog items that may still be lower in priority than crashes or security bugs, which should be addressed immediately.
+Typically, only items with P2 or P3 priority will also have a layout backlog priority in the whiteboard field.
+=== Priority ===
+* '''Priority 1 (P1)''': Blocker, crash or very high-impact performance or web compatibility bug. Must-fix in the current iteration. The severity of the P1 should generally be set accordingly.
+* '''Priority 2 (P2)''': High-priority bug that should be in-progress or will be worked on next. Includes moderately high-impact performance or web compatibility bugs.
+* '''Priority 3 (P3)''': Normal-priority bug or a backlog item.
+* '''Priority 4 (P4)''': Low-priority bug or managed by a bot (such as an intermittent test failure). We are unlikely to devote resources to these bugs any time soon.
+* '''Priority 5 (P5)''': Icebox. We do not plan to spend time on these bugs but we will accept patches.
+=== Layout Backlog Priority ===
+* '''Priority 1 [layout:p1]''': Highest-priority backlog item. Typically a must-have. We are working on this or plan to work on it soon for the next release.
+* '''Priority 2 [layout:p2]''': Normal-priority backlog item. We will address after P1-level items we have targeted for the near-term. Likely to land in the next release or release following.
+* '''Priority 3 [layout:p3]''': Low-priority backlog item.
