Whether a bug is confirmed or not has nothing to do with whether it gets fixed anyway. I've had unconfirmed bugs fixed, and confirmed ones still sitting there. And four months is not "forever." There are far older bugs in bugzilla.

What I do notice in the bug you mentioned is a request for a regression test. If you really want to help move things along, run it. If the bug isn't important enough to the original reporter to make the time to run a regression test, why should it be important to anyone else?
