My favorite example is the bug report when they have decided to remove browser.newtab.url from their about:config window. In the bug report[0] they have basically decided to hide every single comment from powerusers that was against this change (including mine) and marked it as advocacy, off-topic or abusive.

Bug trackers aren't a good place to express advocacy, because there are other forums for that. What's wrong with removing advocacy, off topic, and abusive comments?

There are comments in that bug that are clearly from people who were against the change that were not removed.
