Of course they *all* test stuff before release, but times change, external
libraries that the project relies on are found to have faults, different
scenarios arise that the browser authors didn't anticipate ("Help, when I
surf as admin and all the security settings switched to low security and
click "Yes" on every popup i see on these dodgy warez and pr0n websites, my
browser goes funny").
People ain't perfect, and software is designed and built by people.
