Not only that, on the Mozilla forum, if you do get a reply, almost half 
the time it won't be relevant to your question, or will tell you how to 
do something you said in your original question that you'd tried 
already.  At that, it's better than the Gnome forum I found; for all 
practical purposes, I found it to be a "write only" group because nobody 
ever bothered answering anybody's questions.

However, both the Fedora and XFCE forum are quite good.  You generally 
get at least one answer in under a day, if anybody happens to be able to 
help.  And, the Ubuntu forum, which I check out once in a while to help 
my sister is so active that it's rare to see an unanswered thread on the 
first page that's over about two hours old or so.  And, if you really 
need help with XFCE, one of the forum regulars describes himself as a 
"Core Developer," giving us almost direct access to the XFCE devs.

This is why, on occasion, I'll point somebody to the Fedora Forum, but 
I'd never point one to the Gnome forum I know of because that would be 
wasting the poster's valuable time.
