General Info & Status

QA Tasks

In order to get more coverage on fixes going in for Firefox 1.5.0.3, we need the community to help test the latest 1.8.0 branch builds while looking at the current list of fixed1.8.0.3 bugs (excluding XForms bugs). Here are a few ways to help:

  • Universal Binary testing on MacOS X: As we transition to shipping UB builds to Mac users, we need the community to help test these latest builds to make sure Firefox works across a number of configurations.
  • BFTs & Regression Testing: Running through a set of BFTs on Litmus is the best way to test basic functionality and explore various areas for regressions.
  • Extensions & Themes Testing: Install and use some of your favorite extensions and themes. Try a few new ones from addons.mozilla.org to make sure everything works as expected.

l10n Tasks

In order to get better coverage on l10n builds, it will be great to bring back the locale tracking bug approach. As builds become available for various locales, we need localizers to run them through their usual smoketests/BFTs. Once tested and verified, they can sign off on the build for their locale in the bug. We can use a similar bug to track the update testing for those locales.

In order for this to work, we need localizers signed up for this work ASAP. Given the schedule and the dates we currently have for various stages of the release cycle, I hope most of them can make time to do this for 1.5.0.3.

Note: [04/19/06] The announcement on how to do l10n changes for 1.5.0.3 went out, see google groups.
