QA Updates

• Testday on Build1 of TB3.0b2 participation seems low based on the numbers of bugs opened.
• Build for OpenSuse was present - Announced on planetsuse.
• Test run results being processed in Litmus coverage almost 100%.
• Need to better communicate which build to use with the test- runs.
• Issues with crash stats query - the tools is unusable - making it very difficult to report top crashers to development.
• Would be nice to have a dummy extension that would install on any version of thunderbird.
  • nth10sd settled this at bug 479756.
• Same thing would be cool for a theme (but probably less feasible).
