QA Tasks

Firefox 1.5.0.11-2.0.0.3 Test Plan <-- MoCo QA tasks and results are here.

  • Vista Testing : We plan to fix quite a few bugs that will make the Firefox experience a lot nicer on Vista, so we need to make sure to run a thorough set of tests on Vista, including BFTs, updates, etc... Find the Vista test plan here: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:1.5.0.x:Vista_Test_Plan
  • 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.

Community testing and feedback will be managed through the QA Blog and the Newsgroup, so keep an eye out for posts and discussions there!

Post Release Reference Page

*Are you seeing https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375710, Firefox wants to downgrade to 2.0.0.2 from 2.0.0.3 If so, we need the following from you:

  • 1. All previous versions installed and how you got them (install or update). Did you install on top of an existing installation or was this a fresh install?
  • 2. The updates.xml and active-update.xml files
  • 3. The updates dir also (specifically the last-update.log and update.status file if they exist)
  • 4. Do not apply the update to 2.0.0.2, since we want to find out what state you are in to get that offer.
  • 5. Extensions you have installed.
  • 6. Did you manually check for updates or did a dialog just come up?

Where the heck are those update files?

*Windows XP:

    • Go the directory you installed Firefox in. There should be both an updates directory as well as other update related files in that directory, including active-updates.xml. If you have a pending update, it will be in the folder in the updates directory labeled "0", which will also have a log of your last update as well.

*Windows Vista:

    • Go the directory you installed Firefox in. Go to Users->[name of directory, usually your name]->AppData (you will have to unhide this using the Folder and Search Options)->Roaming->Mozilla. There should be both an updates directory as well as other update related files in that directory, including active-updates.xml. If you have a pending update, it will be in the folder in the updates directory labeled "0", which will also have a log of your last update as well.

*Mac OSX:

    • Right click on the Firefox icon and select "Show Package Contents." Then go to Contents->MacOS. There should be both an updates directory as well as other update related files in that directory, including active-updates.xml. If you have a pending update, it will be in the folder in the updates directory labeled "0", which will also have a log of your last update as well.
