Future Events?
- As Mozilla continues to innovate the web experience through new features, we will need to make sure we thoroughly test any new functionality introduced in Firefox and Thunderbird. In order to ensure we catch any regressions and identify critical bugs quickly, we will occasionally have special New Feature Testing (NFT) events. When we do, we will post to the QA blog and also provide a test plan here that includes more information about the feature, any current bugs, test cases, and instructions on how to provide feedback.
