General Firefox 1.5.0.x Test Plan
This is the basic set of tests we run for every security & maintenance release.
Current Tasks
I am including all end game tasks including build, security notifications, etc. If anyone doesn't like this, I can create a separate cross-functional tasks page at a higher level.
Assumption: Builds should have gone through the l10n meta-diff checker and the update checker before they are released to QA.

Specific Testing for 1.5.0.5
There are a few areas not covered by the general test plan above, and we will track that testing here. A few things to think about and test/verify with 1.5.0.5 include:
- MacOS X Universal Binaries (marcia/Juanb/tracy)
- both BFTs and software update need to be thoroughly tested to ensure all existing users of 1.5.0.4 are properly updated to 1.5.0.5 (both PPC and UB users).
- Thunderbird PPB-UB Update Testing
- Additional Extension testing
- http://www.mozilla.com/add-ons/jogacompanion/ - joga.com extension
Please add any other bugs/areas that need special attention for this release. Thanks!
Test Results (Firefox and Thunderbird)
Any 1.5.0.5 testing results that will help us track progress, identify regressions, and verify fixes should go here.
- Smoketests
- Basic Functional Tests (BFTs)
- MacOS X UB testing
- l10n related testing

- Results for all extension testing
The above list is just a sample of what we will be testing and links to blank pages we should use to track our test results. Please add any other test results here. Thanks!
