# '''Get a build''' - Testing is best done with [http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-central/ "Daily" builds] because it has the newest code. Daily is also referred to as "Nightly" or "Trunk", which is where Thunderbird is developed. You can also download a [http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-central-l10n/ localized build] of Daily (or any other version) so you can test if everything works and displays as designed in your language. Trunk/Daily also has the greatest risk of problems, so if you don't want to use Daily then please use [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/channel/ Beta]. (Worst case, use [http://www.getthunderbird.com/ the last released version].) | # '''Get a build''' - Testing is best done with [http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-central/ "Daily" builds] because it has the newest code.

# '''Work the bugs''' - which means test the problem, in the bug report make comments and suggest or make changes to the bug fields, and help the user. For UNCONFIRMED bugs, mark as "confirmed" if you are able to reproduce '''and''' the steps to reproduce are well documented and easily followed, '''and''' the problem exists in trunk build. If you are not running trunk but can replicate with current release, please comment with your findings, but do not set to confirmed. | # '''Work the bugs''' - which means test the problem, in the bug report make comments and suggest or make changes to the bug fields, and help the user.

#* Clarify the bug report without distorting or changing the original problem. For example if you found a related or new issue not described in the bug being tested, then you should make a new bug for that issue. | #* Clarify the bug report without distorting or changing the original problem.
