Not necessarily.  Firefox is an application that is used to monitor how well Wine works.  If it broke, then we (developers) need to know where the breakage is at.  That is why we request a regression test between when the breakage was noticed and the verision that worked.  The problem could be a small fix for something else that broke Firefox.  Also, the breakage could be something that the Firefox team did and thus the Wine project has no control over this.
