Yes. To add to it, I'd like to know if most of the words are under the same topic, not necessarily describe a topic. The rating would be 0/1.

Some level of product/component organization of Firefox is necessary. For example, a set of words that I encountered had words like email, reply etc with thunderbird. Programming experience is necessary to understand code jargons. No Source code knowledge is required.

In worst case, scenario all the words in the 10-word set could be unknown to the verify-er and hence, ideally she/he would search for it online. In such a case, it could take up to 2-3 minutes per 10-words set.

Sample of 10 such 10-word sets is here:
