There were two conflated issues here; indeed bugzilla was in trouble and 
I'd been trying to work through the early stages of that.  It's back now 
less some recent updates, so that's ok.  Thanks to hard-working admins.

However the other issue of not being able to find any 'submit' button on 
my older browser after entering text persisted today, so I thought I'd 
try switching to 'no style' in its View menu, to see that an additional 
'FreeBSD' style had appeared, which was news to me.  Once I selected 
'Classic' (ie usual) style, good ol' blue boxes with white text appeared 
in various places on the page, 'Search', 'Save Changes' etc.

I'd rather not subscribe to freebsd-www to post one message, so perhaps 
Warren or others who are across website issues might pass this along?

With the 'FreeBSD' style a box that is _very_ slightly noticeable - once 
you know it's there - in very light grey with no discernable variation 
that would indicate the presence of any text, is all that shows on mine.  
Sure it's an old browser, but this to me is a totally unfamiliar issue.

cheers, Ian (please cc me on any response)
