4.0 beta 2 Test Plan

L10n UI, General Feature Testing

The following features in Firefox 4.0 beta 2 will be the user interface features needing the most testing by your team:

• Add-Ons Manager
  • Description: Firefox 4 developers aim to implement a way for addons to integrate into Firefox UI in a way that plays nicely with themes, allows maximum customizability, and eases implementation for addon developers.
  • To view the new Add-Ons Manager, type "about:addons" in the URL bar. Here you will see the new UI for the add-ons manager. There are several items to look at here:
    • Translations and dialogues size for the side panel items
      • Get Add-ons
      • Languages
      • Extensions
      • Themes
      • Plugins

• Switch to Tab
  • [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/Tab_Matches_in_Awesomebar Description: When an awesomebar result matches the URL of an already open tab, it should indicate that and allow the user to switch to that tab instead of duplicating it.
  • To test this
    • 1. Open up several tabs in your Firefox 4 beta
      2. Copy a URL for one of your open tabs
      3. Open a new tab and paste the URL
      4. Awesome Bar will show a "Switch to Tab" (yours will be translated) UI in the results
      5. Check for any dialogue size issues or other localization bugs
  • The development team created a test plan for their UI that you can review. Note, this test plan tests functionality, not localization.

• Tabs on Top
  • Description & Mockups - In Firefox 4, tabs are given top visual priority for more efficient and intuitive browsing.
    • To view the "Tabs on Top" feature, go to the menu item View > Customize > "Tabs on Top"
    • Ensure the menu items are properly translated, functional, and viewable
    • Review the tabs UI and compare it to mockups above, noting any major differences that might occur in the localization

• Firefox button (re-uses many strings from Firefox Menu Bar)
  • Description: In Firefox 4 for Windows Vista and Windows 7, all menu items are in a single button for easy access and reduced clutter.
  • On Windows 7 and Windows Vista, click on the new Firefox Button to see the redesign of all menu items.
  • Click through on all menu items to see any localization errors, noting especially any dialogue size problems
  • A very spartan project description created by the dev team is here
