I use a firefox shortcut that maps 'newf $COMPONENT' to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=$COMPONENT But that no longer works: the 'new bug' page doesn't have that value set in the component text field. Likely something to do with the new ajaxy lookup.
It should be noted that the component description does not update when a component is entered this way. Trying to work around this is not so easy. If you think it is important enough, please file a new bug.
