Easy way to a bug
Bug 199275 was opened requesting short URLs for accessing specific bug numbers. I didn’t give it much thought at first until I caught myself wanting such a feature while trying to access a specific bug. You can just type the bug number on the Bugzilla home page, but if I’m typing “bugs.eclipse.org” in my browser’s address bar, why not just append the bug number?
So now you can just type bugs.eclipse.org/12345 (or link via http://bugs.eclipse.org/12345) and you’ll be teleported to your bug by pure magic.
Are there any other short URLs like this that could definitely make your life easier? (This one isn’t a short url)

If you use firefox you can also bookmark this url:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=%s
and add a keyword (e.g. “bug”) to the bookmark.(open “Bookmarks->Organize Bookmarks”,right-click on the bookmark and select “Properties”)
Now you can enter “bug 199275″ in your firefox address bar and it will go to the bug.

Those smart keywords are a really useful feature in FF. You can create one even more easily by right clicking on any input field and selecting “Add a Keyword for this Search…”.
