QA/Firefox3.5/TestPlan/RC3

Description of Release

We are addressing several bugs in video playback, tab drag and drop, and other miscellaneous critical bugs. This release candidate will be available through the all-beta download page, and it will be offered in the form of software updates to our beta users on 3.5x.

Specific Plan for RC3

We are going to run smoketests and spotchecks, and we are going to verify the bugs that landed for this release. In addition we are going to run sections of the full functional tests that are touched by the fixed that landed. These include tab drag&drop and video playback controls.

Schedule

In flux. We will very likely get builds today (Tue 6/23). We will then run smoketests, verifications, and focused tests for a couple of days before offering updates later this week.
