Bugs are confirmed by people with bugzilla triage or admin privileges who have managed to reproduce the bug themselves.

One problem with that bug is that the summary gives the impression that this only affects some obscure proprietary app for which there is no download, and does not make it clear that there is a testcase attached that can be used to reproduce the problem. I'd revise that if I were the bug reporter.

Beyond that, I wouldn't worry about the status, as it has nothing to do with whether or not the bug ever gets fixed. Unconfirmed bugs get fixed all the time, and confirmed ones may stay open forever.
