"We run a lot of automated tests against each revision to Firefox’s code, and we verify that code changes do not cause tests to stop passing. One group of tests, called Web Platform Tests, is shared among all major web browsers, and we have only begun running them recently. As a result, we imported thousands of tests and marked some of them as currently failing, and they have languished in that state. Some of these failures are caused by Firefox not correctly implementing an edge case, while others may be very important problems - as things stand, it's hard to figure out which ones are which. We need your help cleaning up this mess! | "We run a lot of automated tests against each revision to Firefox’s code, and we verify that code changes do not cause tests to stop passing.
