  • Issues Noted:
    • Could not run any of the MS test cases due to the ispiked's test cases not being on people.mozilla.com
    • "Visit Date" column in Organize Bookmarks does not show the date and time for bookmarks that I added today. This is way the functionality was on 2.0.0.x branch. Also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333141 should be addressed for polish.
    • Safari migration needs attention. Currently a number of prefs are not migrated. I will search for open bugs and make comments. Seth fixed the search history migration on the 2.0.0.x branch but did not check that fix into the trunk.
  • Bugs Noted:
    • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396485 - Unable to quit browser (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) :: goQuitApplication

    • bug 396109 master password quality meter not working in Linux
  • Migration story is unclear. Only cookies are imported from Seamonkey, for example. Should we worry about migration in Linux? How much should we worry?

• Linux BFT (tchung) - PASS

    • Report a broken website link is still broken. Bug 385935

Litmus Test Case Issues

• ispiked's Microsummaries test cases are not accessible due to his account not being on people.mozilla.com. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396237 has been filed to address this.
  • Need an owner for the MS area as this does not fall under the feature categories
  • That owner should correct the test cases to show the new location of the test cases.
