Welcome to Community Test Day: Seneca Event
Thank you for participating in this test day. The success of Firefox and Thunderbird is heavily dependent on community members like you. We appreciate your support!!
When you are done, please send feedback to [1]. We are very interested to hear about how this test day went, and we hope to hear your suggestions to make these events better.
The official time for the test day is Thursday, March 1, 2007, from 11am - 1pm PST.
FAQ
The focus of today's community test day is to go through the Common Operations test cases in Litmus. This is a subgroup of test cases that is part of a smoketest that checks for common internet navigation tasks, such as checking your mail, reading from a news site, visiting a site with music or video, going to a secure site like a bank, etc...
What do we expect to find? Hopefully, we should be able to navigate and exprience these sites without any problems. However it is probable that we will find some glitches when visiting sites that make heavy use of AJAX, for example.
Where do I start?
- Go to your favorite IRC client:
- Connect to irc.mozilla.org -- In most clients, this is done by typing /server irc.mozilla.org and hitting Enter.
- Join the #seneca channel -- In most clients, typing /join #seneca will get you into the channel.
Ok, I am in the channel, now what?

How do I file bugs?
First of all, let one of the moderators know so they can check if it is already a known problem. Then they can guide you to either provide more details, update an existing bug or file a new bug. If filing a new bug, please do a quick check to see if the bug already exists. This can easily be done by searching for the error message, window name, or some over identifing feature of the bug.
How do I send feedback?
