In general bugs found in earlier releases are eligible for a reward only if we can reproduce the problem using the most recent version. However as a special exception we will also consider paying rewards for bugs found in the most recent releases from designated stable branches (e.g., from the Mozilla 1.7 branch after 1.8 is released) if the bugs are not present in the most recent version but were never recognized and fixed as security bugs. (For example, the bug might be in code associated with a feature that was removed and/or heavily modified in the most recent version, and might have been “fixed” solely as a byproduct of other unrelated changes.
